Cool

Strange that it has Stuttgart plates on it, as Subaru GmbH are base in Friedberg and have FB plates, the only thing round stuttgart is Porsche which share plates either BB or S and Mercedes.

I will try to find out about this thing.

Just got this reply from Subaru.

Hello again,

The Opel Safira is sold in Japan and only in Japan under the branch of
SUBARU in right hand drive version.
It is often the case that the brochure pictures are taken with international
or German number plates, like in this case.
Any further questions, don't hesitate asking me.
Regards
Jörg
