Lucky find at a Subaru dealership in Tokyo

[WRCfan]

I took a second trip back to a small Subaru dealership in Tokyo after hearing the 1992 Prodrive 555 Legacy had been replaced as the show car. Luckily not just one machine was brought in, but three. Was like a little kid in a candy shop that is for sure. Snapped a few photos off.

Cars are: 1998 San Remo - McRae/Grist, 07 Monte Carlo Solberg/Mills, latest model is possibly a test car?

Impreza's 08 number plate, chasis #3, says it was used several times by Solberg during that season. Its last WRC entry was Portugal 09, driven by Gronholm.

I think Prodrive used "1 WRC" reg number on different cars... Now they use it on Sordos Mini.

It's true, but the change of livery for Portugal (and changing back to the official one) could explain why the last Impreza doesn't have a rally plate. Who knows...
The main thing is give thanks to WRCfan for the photograhs.

Absolutely! And I just love the two door Impreza's, one of the best looking rally cars ever!

How I miss them in WRC :\ what did the S14 say in the small plaque ate the center of the rear wing?

[WRCfan]

Thanks for the feedback guys. It was a very lucky find and great to see another McRae car in original condition.

Here are a few more of the 98 San Remo Car. (Was also great to read those words too, not Sardinia) Had a real nostalgic feel to it!

Aron! I really like those photos! What i also like is your text down in the corner, i have to ask you what font it is. It's really nice!

That S12/b just looks like SUCH a machine ! Love the photos :)

It was a 'do not touch' sign, nothing of importance...

To be honest mate I am unsure, I downloaded the font a while back, then made the watermark. After that I lost it from my machine and never too note of what it was. Maybe someone else here can chime in with some help on the font?

[omer yetis]

maybe this helps?

That is it Miika! Well done!

[oyunbozan]

beautiful memories..
can we have them with high resolution so we can put in our desktop wallpaper? please?

[WRCfan]

I will organise some wallpapers for everyone over the course of today and post link to them. 1920x1200 or 1600x1200 is best for everyone?
