The Last New Saab to Leave the Factory Heads to Auction This ...
The winning bidder will also get a tour of the old factory—and lunch.
www.thedrive.comHere’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting:
- The last Saab cars and development prototypes from the Trollhättan factory are being sold at auction in Sweden, marking the end of an era for Saab at that site.[1][3][7]
- The auction features several late-model Saab/NEVS prototypes and electric models, with public viewing and bidding windows running through late May 2026, including a live finale event at the Trollhättan facility.[3][7][9]
- Coverage notes that the seven to eight vehicles on offer include both pre-production and NEVS electric examples, and that all lots are listed with no reserve pricing, attracting Saab enthusiasts and collectors.[4][9][3]
If you’d like, I can pull in more details on each lot (model, mileage, and sale status) and provide a compact checklist for prospective bidders or attendees.
