Yes ... we do have the Aero in the UK ... I agree ... but My Turbo S has the full Aero body kit, three spoke asymmetrical 3 spoke Aero wheels, leather seats, walnut trim, twin pipe exhaust lower suspension and a so-called sports clutch. My Turbo S is an 8 valve B201 engine made in 1989. It is *not* an Aero. It is a 155 BHP standard intercooled turbo 8V. [Once I get this vibration at 50 MPH sorted out, it's going down to Trent Saab ... Yum] I understand that this model was only made for one year only (in the 1988/1989 UK "F" and "G" registrations). The "S" refers to a "Sports" model, with cosmetic enhancements to the basic model only. The modern UK Saabs use "S" and "SE" to denote the trim - the letters do *not* refer to engine specifications. What year is yours again Brett? The hi/story might well be different for the soft tops. Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html
