A quick copy and paste for you ...

UK Special Editions

Series McRae

In June 1995, to celebrate their winning of both the manufacturers and drivers World Rally Championship titles, Subaru in the UK released a limited edition run of two hundred cars (numbered 1 to 201 - no number 13!) prepared by Prodrive going by the name of the Series McRae. The main improvements over the standard model are:

Special mica blue paintwork
6.5 x 16 inch eight spoke gold Speedline Safari alloy wheels
Pirelli P Zero 205/50 ZR 16 low profile tyres
Recaro sports front seats with open headrests and Series McRae motifs
All seats (front and back) and door panelling retrimmed in Le Mans/Avus material
Factory fitted electric tilt and slide sunroof
Interior numbered Series McRae plaque
Side and rear Series McRae decals

On the road price was £22,999

yeah one went for 1200, but with 140k on the clock and no history. 215bhp.
can be chipped upto 265-280ish quite easily/cheaply, but on a car of that age and mileage its asking for trouble.

I have to be honest, I was tempted with this one as a "long-term" project for my eldest son....................but I think I will give it a miss.
