Saab and Sea France are in a reverse race to see which can drag out their final demise the longest.

There we go. Maybe SAAB should run some ferries, and SeaFrance start building cars ...

Can I buy a SeaFrance 95 Estate (with the F1 engine) please? We need to go regularly Oxford to York to see the grandnippers, and that would be just dandy ...

I have regularly used the DFDS Dover - Dunkirk run (usually with the Saab 95 Estate) and it's a great way to get to the France / Belgium. But the upholstery does get soggy ...

There is quite a lot of service spare part commonality with GM (Vauxhall and Opel), and there a lot of SAAB specialists who will doubtless corner the market in dealer spares.
