Default I am back…. Yep this is my new Scooby :-)

It is a UK turbo 2000 it has the most complete service record I have ever seen including the original bill of sale and every invoice since right down to sidelight bulbs!! Everything was done by the same Subaru dealer from new

The only modifications are the OZ Superleggera Alloys and a centre decat pipe and rear back box from Roger Clark and that’s how it is going to stay.

Anyway here are some pics.















And a big thank you to JimLad for the lift to Bristol Saturday to collect it

Oooh nice one Nick, that looks lovely. There is a lot to be said for a nice clean unmolested example of a classic.

You coming to brighton in it now then?

Nice looking car Nick, have always had a soft spot for Rover Nightfire red, Ford Pepper red and Subaru Red Mica, it's one of those colours that looks the absolute nuts when waxed/polished!
