Certainly a plate from here but whether it's the original, who knows. I can't say I've seen it about my area anyway.

The car was traded in to a dealer in Lisburn then sold at Carryduff auction (City Auction Group) last week seemingly to Auto Prestige Cars LTD in Bradford. That's all I can find out about it for now.

Cheers for the info guys.
It's at autoprestige cars where I have seen it. Spoke to them yesterday about it, seemed to know his stuff about subaru's. Is there anything to be wary about buying an Irish car?

No lol, why would there be? As said above, 97RON is the best juice we have but it is indeed a UK car and has lived here for just over 10 years. If the other cars that dealership offers are anything to go by then this car must be genuine enough. I doubt they'd be up for getting bad press over an old crap Subaru. Looks like a nice car, good luck!
