GC8EK8D would be a MY97 2.0 Turbo

GC8GK8D would be a MY99 RB5

There should be a Vin Plate next to the passenger side front Suspension top, this will have a code on it, if there is no Vin plate there, be VERY WORRIED!

My advice would be to get the VIN number and contact Subaru UK (IM) to enquire about it's origin.
