Saab 93 TiD noise over 170 km/hrs

Saab 93 TiD noise over 170 km/hrs.
I've recently purchased a 2000' 93 TiD S (115 HP), which I am very
satisfied with. I've never driven a car as smooth and comfortable as this
one including it's luxury and performance.
The car was standing still for several months when I bought it (it had
some rear side damage), causing some problems initially (rusty brakes
mainly). It drives beautifully, enough torque, starting may take several
(5-10) seconds in the morning, but eventually it runs ok, bit noisy at
first, not an issue, some dashboard noises, no big deal.
It runs ok, acceleration is tremendous between 1800-3000 revs.
However,when I try to test the topspeed, I have not been able to drive faster than 170! At some point over 150 there is a distinct noise/rattle coming from under the hood which does not make me tempting to drive any faster.
Anyone got any thoughts on this? Below 150 (which I drive 99,9% of the
time) I don't have a problem with the performance of the car.
regards,
Ruud
