Ignition

The IGNITION festival of motoring is a brand new event coming to the SECC Glasgow on Fri 5 to Sun 7 August 2016.

The Saab Owners Club will operate a stand, in conjunction with local UKSaabs members, and have a variety of Saab vehicles (from Sonett to 9000 Carlsson) on display over the 3 days of the festival. Members will find a discounted entry on the members discount page.

As well as paying homage to some of the world’s finest motor sporting heroes, the event will showcase all aspects of motoring. See website (www.ignitionfestival.co.uk).
As a taster ... the iconic rally driver Jimmy McRae will inaugurate a specially constructed Street Circuit in his late son Colin's original Subaru, which is due to feature in the festival as part of the special 'Colin McRae Tribute Collection'.  Red Bull Junior Team driver Sergio Sette Camara will be doing laps in the RB7 on Friday 5 August before Scotland’s own Formula One star David Coulthard takes to the circuit, giving fans a unique opportunity to see and hear a Formula One machine up close.
There will be displays of classic cars, supercars, rally cars, motorcycles and more, and the Top Gear Live Stunt team will bring excitement and flair to the live action zone while a Supercar Grid curated by Top Gear magazine will display the finest supercars from McLarens to Lamborghinis.

A members-only offer (Two Tickets for any day of your choice for £40 (plus delivery) instead of normal £56 (advance rate) or £60 on the door) is available on the Members Discount page.
It promises to be a memorable event, with loads to see and do ... don’t forget to come along and say hello at the SOC/UKS stand !

Ebor Saab Scottish Mystery Weekend May 2019

ebor saab scottish mystery weekend may 2019 1 20190529 190050204414 Ebor Saab members set off on Friday 10 May to make their separate ways to the assembly point at Gretna Green for what was billed as a Scottish Mystery Weekend, the mystery being only the organisers knew the itinerary. The mystery began to unfold on Saturday morning with a drive along gloriously empty roads under blue skies up into rural Scotland to visit the Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Temple at Eskdalemuir (nobody expected a visit the foothills of the Himalayas).

North of Scotland

There is no formal Branch currently in operation (largely as a result of the sheer geographical spread of members across this area) and therefore no regular meetings.
Where possible, there is usually an  SOC 'presence' at gatherings across the region organised by other clubs, motor museums or advertised on web forums (principally UKSaabs).

The dates known so far for 2020 at which we aim to be represented are:

  • 26th Apr           FBHVC 'Drive It Day' 2020  - various local runs (I'll be attending the one organised by the Highland Classic Motor Club, Inverness)
  • 9th May            Inverness Classic Vehicle Show - on the streets of Inverness with Parade finale led by pipe band
  • 10th May         Grampian Transport Museum, Alford, Aberdeenshire - "How Many Left" event for 'nearly classic' vehicles with fewer than 500 examples on the road
  • 23rd May         Rotary Club of East Sutherland Classic Car Tour, Dornoch
  • 11/12th Jul      46th Scottish Transport Extravaganza, Glamis Castle, Angus (see UKSaabs forum for details)
