Wonder if anyone can help me?

Just purchased a 1996 WRX Impreza which has badges on the seats and the rear of the car which no-one seems to recognise.

It has FIA badges with 1995 in the middle and flags surrounding it, the seats are trimmed the same. I was told this was number 267 of 1000 of a Ltd edition when Subaru won the WRC. Below the badge is V-Limited 267 / 1000.

Has anyone have any info on these cars?

Thanks

No, mine is white!

Glad someone else in the world knows about these cars!

If you are waiting for yours when it arrives you wont be let down. I thing they have 260 bhp. The only drawbacks are visiting the Optimax pump too often and crazy insurance! Apart from that after 32 cars this has got to be the best one I have owned!

Any idea's on somewhere trustworthy to take my Scooby for servicing etc?

Darth,
