SAAB 95 Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 142 SAAB 95s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 167 in 2014 Q3 — only 85% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 25 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (1.4%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 56% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the SAAB 95 is rarer than 55% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.

About the 95
The Saab 95 is a seven-seater, two-door station wagon produced by Swedish automaker Saab from 1959 to 1978. Initially it was based on the Saab 93 sedan, but the model's development throughout the years followed closely that of the Saab 96, the successor of the Saab 93 from 1960. It was introduced in 1959, but because only 40 were made in 1959, production is often said to have started in 1960. The first engine was an 841 cc three-cylinder two-stroke, but from 1967 onward, it became available with the same four-stroke Ford Taunus V4 engine as available for the Saab 96 and used in the Saab Sonett...
