Question Limited edition representatives required

I require confirmation from owners of the various limited editions issued by Subaru that they have one or more of the following:
1. a numbered certificate;
2. a numbered badge/plate mounted somewhere on their vehicle
3. another unique numbered limited edition range identifier.

So you Series McRae, Terzo, Calalunya, RB5, 22B, P1, UK300, and WR1 owners let me know please, so I can challenge Subaru UK on something they claim.

cheers

Rich

Depends what you mean by limited edition..

If you take the focus rs turbo,

that was a limited edition, only 5000 made, i dont recall any tags or certs being issued, it was just a volume run that made it limited


made us shedloads of cash

Exclamation

If he's preparing a case against them though he's not likely to say anything in here because it's bound to get back to them and they'll mount a defense for when he does come forward with the information he has.

My recommendation is DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR INFO TO ANYBODY ON SCOOBYNET. WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE COLLATED YOUR DATA AND PRESENTED TO SUBARU

Its because the Uk300's were each numberd and the wrx300's aren't. People are unhappy at the fact that their wrx300 is not numberd in someway

I take it your quest to find your 300's number goes on then.

Keep us informed.



Fellow 300 owner.

How can they dispute fact!

The Guy just wants to know whether all the UK special editions came with some form of Exclusive numbering tag i.e. Certificate or Badge

Re the WRX300 I understood this wasn't going to be numbered IIRC

In his original post he just asked for the information. He didn't say why he wanted the information. I recommended that he doesn't announce in this thread why he wanted the information as if he is preparing A case against subaru for some reason then it could harm it if they obtain the information before he presents it. Simple case of keep your cards to your chest until the last possible moment.

I made the mistake of announcing information like that on here and it ruined a case I was preparing!

Terzo has a plaque under the ashtray.

No paperwork (unless that was given out when the car was brand new).
