 Staggering support for Save Saab Campaign
Over 200 Saab cars gathered at Saab's UK headquarters in Luton as a show of support to all those working hard to secure a future for Saab and its employees. The ‘Save our Saab' convoy event was organised by Saab's global online community of fans who have, in total, orchestrated over 40 support convoys across the globe. Joined by the legendary Saab rally driver Erik Carlsson - who signed autographs and greeted members of the crowd throughout the day - the cars then travelled en masse to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, where a collection of over 80 Saab models were on display - a nod to Saab's military aviation heritage. Representatives from local dealership Cox of Ipswich were present on the day and took part in the convoy. Andrew Cox, Dealer Principal of Cox of Ipswich, said: "The spontaneous outpouring of support that Saab has received from owners, fans and employees around the world clearly shows why the Saab story can and must continue. We were proud to be involved with the UK effort and it is our hope that our collective voices will be heard and that everything possible will be done to save this unique company. Thank you to all those who organised and participated in the convoy - it was a fantastic day and a fitting tribute to all that Saab has achieved over the past 60 years."
