The original Saab 99 Turbo still looks good value compared to many of its period rivals, with good examples still popping up for less than £10k.

It may lack the wilder image of some of its turbocharged contemporaries, but this was a landmark car in the story of turbocharging and has always enjoyed a cult following. Owning one says, ‘I could have bought a six-cylinder BMW or turbocharged Ford, but I don’t follow fashion.’

Crucial to the appeal are those cool Inca alloys, and original fabric interiors set the package off nicely, so think twice about paying too much for modified examples.
