Cool Big Black CAT Spotted in Southend

At last confermation that I am not alone I have spotted another "Catalunya" I have spent a year looking and found one hiding on my doorstep in southend !!

The poor woman was prob a bit freaked out when some random bloke pulled up next to her in the street talking @ random about coming to the posers cruise LOL

I know this isn't much of an event and I know the Catalunya isn't the most exciting of the Impreza Ltd models but as I am sure you know at only 199 built they are rare, so to me it is an event LOL

Anyone know of a Catalunya regester, wondered how many are still about as I have seen a couple of bits on ebay from catalunya's that have been advertised by breakers, I still have have my old VW Beetle 1978 "Last Edition" (only 300 built) and I have that on the "Last Edition" regester, found it helpfull from time to time?

Found this on another posting

In 1996, Subaru again won the manufacturers title in the FIA World Rally Championship, finally winning the title with the points gained on the Catalunya rally of Spain. To celebrate this, another limited edition run of 200 cars (again with no number 13) was produced, this time going by the name of the Catalunya (I wonder why?) The main features of the "Cats", as they are commonly known as are:
  • Special black mica paintwork (red metallic flecks)
  • Colour matched door mirrors
  • Gold Alloys (same ones as fitted to 2.0 Sport, but painted gold)
  • Front and rear seats and side door panelling re-trimmed in black with red highlights
  • Short rally style gear **** (initial sales blurb promised a quick shift!)
  • Carbon fibre effect dashboard
  • Air conditioning
  • Special floor mats (black with red trim and Catalunya logo)
  • Side and rear Catalunya decals
  • Interior numbered Catalunya plaque
I also found this http://www.iwoc.co.uk/catalunya.html

Have you not made it to the lodge 2night either?

I wanted to go but my Mrs had other plans so couldn't and as I don't really know that many people still didn't really wanna go by myself as I would feel rude inviting myself onto someone elses table LOL.
