Catalunya Soptted 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 :luxhello: !!

The poor woman (Cat No' 87) was prob a bit freaked out when some random bloke pulled up next to her in the street talking @ random about coming to the Essex Scooby Crew posers cruise LOL:lol1:

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?

Chris...

LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND A REGESTER HAD MY CATAYUNNA ABOUT 3 YEARS AND HAVE NO IDEAR WOT NUMBER IT IS BADGE MISSING WENT BOUGHT IT . TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIND OUT NUMBER NO LOOK WOT SO EVER

Awe man who would peel off the badge :cry: ?? U got any pics to post, I would but don't know how LOL :wonder: Have you done anything with it?

Lets see if we can get our own going? Found a few postings on scoobynet and continuing the good work by catsteve last year

Maybe if enough of us ask scoobynet we can get the list made into a sticky??

Chris..

I used to have No.27, here in Scotland but traded it in for an STi7 in 2002. not sure if it's still around or not.

Den

I have seen 2 others in the Macclesfield area as well.....not seen em for a while though.....Speaking to grade A also they said they have broken a load :(

I wonder where my old CAT has got to? :wonder:
It was No. 100. Kept it standard except for some Safari 8 spoke alloys. Did 74,000miles in 3 years from new including a trip to Catalunya to watch the WRC.I know it was sold through the Derby Subaru dealer at least once after I p/xed it for a P1
Top car, great fun and rare to :luxhello: :thumb:

Would the DVLA be able to say how many and which are no longer taxed? Might give a rough estimate of those still on the road.

The only other one that I saw was just down the road from me in Winchester. It was in a secure carpark so I couldn't get close to get the number.

Cheers
Nick

Keep up the good work lads ;) and feel free to update with any specs n mods :norty: and man I want number 131 :notworthy

Chris..

Good Idea m8 but don't know if they would give this kind of info out? But don't know if Subaru would have a record of chassis numbers sold?

Maybe the DVLA would tell us if they have been written off?

Also that may help P555GAZ with what number he is?

Chris

Scoobycat has one on here :) your have to ask him what number

Thanx m8 will PM him :thumb:

Chris..

There are four for sale on autotrader one is number 20 and one is in a subaru dealer

some are whats been for sale in auto trader ,ebay

It's rather sad, but I've been saving all the autotrader ads of Cats since I got mine in late 2004. I'll have a look through and compile a list of the numbered cats that were for sale, most though don't give the number. Did this in case my car was written off and I needed proof of value for the insurance.
Nick

won't the dealers help? surely if you give them the chassis number they'll tell you what number it is?

ive got number 83!(surrey scoobs) cant seem to add it to the list though? computer says no,standard apart from full de cat and clear lenses

Right then, I've compiled the data from the owner's on here, what P55GAZ and Chris have posted and what I've got from autotrader over the last couple of years. The date after the number is when it was advertised.

In addition to these I have adds for 29 cats for which a number wasn't given. Taking into account this data, then we know of about 74. Some of these may no longer be on the road, but it gives a rough estimate of which are still around. And of course some of the ones that are still unaccounted for may have been scrapped etc. But I think it looks quite healthy.

WOW you have been a busy lad :thumb: think I will email Phil Stephens about a permenant Cat regester on the SIDC site think it would be cool :norty:

Also if anyone needs a set ot Catalunya badges replaced because of a prang or respray rb5_286 from essex scooby crew took pictures and measurement from mine when he made up my essex scooby crew stickers so he is able to make them up for us :thumb:

He also made me up some really cool SUBARU/CATALUNYA sun strips if anyone wants? Will try and get some pics posted up tomoz :cool:

Chris..

Scotland??
 

I have owned Catalunya number 002 for about five years now and I love it very much, I don't think it's ever been to Scotland, I must check the log book.
I intend to keep it forever and will shortly be going down the 2.5ltr engine route.

I have been told that number 001 was written off, but this was only word of mouth. Nice to know there are otehr cats out there.

Hello m8 good to hear from you check out this old posting number 7 looks like your old cat used to be owned by a scoobynet official :norty: lol http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...ight=catalunya

Hi m8 glad you found us :thumb: tried to pm you (catsteve) when I got the list started but obviously you have changed your username ;).

P555GAZ I am guessing has a 555 n.o plate but he dosn't know what number he is?

Poss official Catalunya Register on its way guys so can you PM me your emails so I can contact you and keep you up to date :thumb:

Keep the Cats alive
Chris..

Cheers Chris, keep up the good work. When we get the register we'll have to have a separate page for photo's etc - but I'm sure you've thought of that.
Cheers
Nick

Hope to hear from the big man soon with some news, should be seeing him @ the Essex Scooby Crew posers cruise on the 4th http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=490879 :thumb:
