That was mine with the 19k miles on, sold it too cheap but I'm impulsive so needed it gone.

I think mine is now the only white Hawk RA, as Huzzy1 said the other white one is now matt black. There is also a blue one and I think a silver one is still in the country.

I think there are a few white hawks around (a few, meaning more than 1), but not sure if they are STI's or Spec C's. I remember seeing few come up for sale at the end of last year.

Thanks for the nice words Rob, the swirl marks I saw when parked next to yours had to be dealt with.

Believe it or not, all below national speed limit - it just gets there quick.

Also I may have edited the sound for effect.

The door shuts had started to look very nasty so took advantage of the nice day and cleaned them up, it's a bit boring, sorry.

Thanks.
Not sure yet, probably something less extreme than a classic RA. Might take the wife's wagon from her.
How's the 22B?

Just out of curiosity, what did you do with the old DAMD steering wheel?

Since the sun was shinning thought I'd take some quick shots.










And a little bit of pink!

Thanks for the kind words.
I'll add you to the list, there are quite a few people already on the 'let me know if you ever sell list'.

Question

That is a very nice example you have there, how many miles have you covered?

I did see a white RA-R (so that would make your car 1/3) for sale on Pistonheads a month or so ago for 25k. It was spoiler-less and I am assuming had low miles.

I haven't seen a yellow one in the UK either.

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555

Thanks, I also saw the RA-R, I think it's now on eBay.
My RA has circa 35k, I think the RA-R had around 55k from memory.
