Dude thats what we are talking about lol

It says on the ad its Subaru japans own demo car so well done to J.L.F they did hold them for themselves

 

They were introduced in Japanese dealerships 16th march 1998

Yes there was a number 13 it was owned by subaru USA
Colin Mcrae had a 000
Nicky Grist had a 000
David Lapworth had a 000
Ryan Giggs and Prince Naseem Hamed also had one but i don't know what number build was issued to there cars

 

Absolutely...

They consciously avoid using it!....

If you have worked on Subaru's then you would have found that you do not need a 13mm spanner or socket in your tool box, they use plenty of 12 & 14mm headed bolts, but you will never find a 13mm that has been fitted by the factory

There have been no "limited edition" models produced that contained a car numbered as 13.

Even Prodrive were restricted by Subaru's superstitions... When they were building the world rally cars for Subaru and the Grp n cars for the public they used a numbering system to denote which model year they were, i.e S8, S9, S10 etc (for wrc) & N8, N9, N10 and so on (for grp N). They reached S12 & N12 in 2006, but when the 2007 cars were produced they were coded as S12b & N12b cars. They then jumped to S14 & N14 in 2008.

Now thats what I call superstitous

 

Wow.

Thanks for that. I have always wondered why wasn't there a N13 or S13.

 

Im confused so they didnt make no 13 or did they and as the ad above says they were kept by subaru them selves maybe they kept all the previously mentioned number 13s as demo models

 

NO 13 was made and was sent to subaru USA

 

OK

Yes I met Ryan Giggs in his at the dealers many years ago now. He was picking it up from a service and we got chatting while we were waiting to pay. Thing is I don't follow football and back then had not a clue who he was LOL! He never once mentioned it either, we just talked about Scoobs. He was well into them back then. After he had gone I asked the service manager what you had to do for a job to afford one of them.... that was when he through muffled laughter told me who he was! Doh!

 

22b no 13 ://pistonheads.com/sales/2227838.htm apparently subaru japan decided to sell it ! ??????
