Question Cashmere Yellow

Can anyone tell me if the WRX Type-R STi Version 6 came in Cashmere Yellow (I know the regular 4-door WRX STi 6 did). Also, did Subaru offer this hue on the strict WRX v6, too?

Thanks in advance,
John

I've never seen a Type R in cashmere yellow.

STI V6, STI V6 wagon and UK Sport Special is only ones I've seen.

The Latest Type-R's to come in Yellow was the Version 4.

V5 & V6 didnt come in yellow... i know cuz i wanted a yellow V5, my scoob dealer told me this and if u search on the net im sure you'll find the same answer...

theres a few look-alikes tho... yellow V4 type-R's with facelift bumpers and spoilers....

Version 3 STi's were the only 2 doors to come out in Yellow, and i under the impression the yellow color was called "Bright Yellow".

Version 5 STi's did not come out in Yellow, but Version 6 STi's did....
V6 STi, V6 STi wagons and V6 STi RA's all came in the Cashmere yellow.
Australia recieved a limited number of Cashmere WRX's (250 sedans and 50 wagons) all indiviually numbered.

The STi6 wagon did. It shows a picture on p54 of Chris Rees 'Subaru Impreza Turbo' Haynes book. Whether the Type-R did as well I don't know.

Check out my wagon for an example of a Cashmere Yellow STI 6!

I'm sure I read somewhere that Cashmere yellow was something to do with Subaru Australia Rally colours, hence the Australian release mentioned above.

Also think earlier type R's are in a much brighter yellow colour, not cashmere which I believe it limited to the version 6.

A rare colour indeed

Cheers everyone.

For the record, the version 3 Type-R's yellow colour option is called 'Chase Yellow', I believe.
