From 1984 those three became one http://www.saabsidan.nu/saab900.htm . The main picture might be a Turbo, but is quite likely not, because it doesn't say TURBO on the rear side of the hood/bonnet. I think I believe it's rather a 900 GLE or EMS. The thumb is a 900 Turbo because of the turbo specific wheels and because it is painted in black. As the wheels were quite expensive and could only be fitted with special TRX tyres, I find it very unlikely it was ordered to any other model. -- Last edit: 2017-06-23 10:07:33
