Hi there! I just wanted to say that seeing Leif Mellberg's name was something that brought back memories to my mind - he is truly a legend in the Saab world. He died too young, something that saddened many car enthusiasts here in Sweden. Because that's what he was, too - a true enthusiast - with very firm and swift (re-)design ideas. I hope you'll be guided to the car you are referring to. Leif Mellberg was said to have worked on a very large number of ideas and projects, many which remained unfinished when he passed away. My guess is that some car / Saab museum must have covered his work.

Mellberg passed away in 1993, so he did not build any models based on ng900.

Here's one car he built called Mayo P1
