It's not the VIN number you want, it's the "Applied model" number. It won't be on the V5.


This one shows GC8C4ED

RA doesn`t have a rear wiper. Down to weight saving like the no air con or electric windows. Although some have these as extras.

v-limited means that it's a limited edition model to celebrate a Subaru victory.....the "v" standing for Victory
