Really big, really cheap, reasonably nice - what more could you want from a Shed-spec Saab?
Long-term readers may recall that Shed has two children. Potting, his estranged son, is thought to be experimenting in hydroponics somewhere in the Reading area. Shed is still in touch with his daughter, Garden. She’s got a good job in education and a littl'un just starting at big school. Like most people below the age of 65 in the UK she’s struggling to get by, so Shed helps her out on the transport front by giving her the odd car from his yard, some odder than others.
What would she be getting, though, if Shed did take the plunge? A big, comfortable and reasonably swift estate that will accommodate all the stuff you’d conceivably want to carry, like the postmistress, plus some of the stuff you wouldn’t, like Mrs Shed’s mother. Vector Sports came with cruise, electric driver seat adjustment, heated sports seats, leather lovely, parking sensors and plenty more.
In Aero models, the long-established 2.3-litre B235 turbo-four engine went to 256hp and over 300hp in the factory-sanctioned Aero Hirsches. The low-pressure B235E version in our Euroshed was less ambitious at 182hp, but with 207lb ft at 1,800rpm it breezed along nicely enough. Wagons like this one returned 0-60 times in the mid-eights with a manual gearbox. The 5-speed Aisin auto trans added a fair chunk of time to that, like a second, but for everyday use it was well suited to the car.
