Jim if they did it would be a Hatchback Unless they can get some american Saloons to make them from

LOL by the time the Classic was Modded to comply with all the new safety/Crash regs etc

A) it would look much like it
B) It would be heavier
C) even less Cabin space
D) Nobody would buy it because of the 3 reasons above

IMHO

back on topic

Nice tribute to Colin, I did meet colin once and he did seem a very nice Chap , we were both sat it the Back of a Media car in Turkey for about 20 miles when he did his Very last WRC Rally when Seb broke his wrist.

Although i diidn't get chance to speak to him

Fantastic tribute to a fantastic guy, I did get to speak to him and shake his hand whilst he was driving a Legacy on the R.A.C. Rally, for those of you who hav'nt got the latest DVD I recomend it whole heartedly, that certainly brings a lump to the throat
Cheers
Colin

Spoke to the guy from Subaru UK on the stand at the show yesterday, Subaru have no plans for a special to celebrate the life of Colin. He was in agreement that one should be built as he would buy one, all we can do is email/write to Subaru uk with this idea until they see there would be a lot of interest in a McRae Special.

When the new car sales are slow I could see one being made just to try and boost the pr of the car and even bring a saloon out in the uk market, thanks for the pics
