rallyfever Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Hi All, Been looking at a few cheap cars to get back behind a Subaru wheel and have found this one, does anyone know anything about the car?

rallyfever Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Good point fella - I will enquireCheers Gary Just had a reply from the guy, it's car 171 of 555 and there is the id badge on the left at the bottom of the bootlid, but not the FIA badge for some reason. Everything else seems to match up, no side skirts or rear corner spats, no rear wiper, roof vent, DCCD, Mcrae & Ringer stitched seats, 4:4 close ratio box. Should I enquire about anything else???? Cheers Gary Edited January 7, 2010 by rallyfever
