No there was a Classic Car and bike restoration show at the exhibition centre but was a good reason to get the 22B out and give it a run and show it off.
Both cars havnt been regd and them clocks are in KM and the only rusty part on the cars is that exhaustsorry one of the screws to adjust the spoiler is too still on p,zeros,if you realy want one my mate has a 250 mile one but it will cost you the best part of 45k,just out of interest do you who has the lowest miles one,can you beat 250,there was a 60km one for sale the other week but when I tryed to buy it,it was suposed to be sold

Well, I couldn't wait any longer to get some photos taken of my car, so I thought sod the snow outside I'll just do it any way. The eagle-eyed amongst you will recognise it as the car featured in a comparison test with the new STi 330S in December 2008's EVO magazine (as submitted by the previous owner).
It's #95/400 and is pretty standard (eg. engine, brakes, exhaust, wheels) and has full Jap and recently UK service history covering its 48,000 miles. It now gets used on fine days just for fun.
Looks very nice mate I like the pics from the upstairs window it makes the pics look like poster prints
That was the look I was half-heartedly trying to replicate. I always remember the 22B Subaru advertisement of the day that appeared in various magazines: it was a dark studio shot taken from directly above the car and really accentuated the width of the car (front and back) compared to the regular classic shell of the time. It's not possible to get that angle without a cherry-picker, jet pack or something, so my shot doesn't do the rear justice. Does anyone have a copy of one of that old advert that they could post up on here?
Despite my fond memory of that advert, I guess it was hardly a marketing success for the 22B with only 16 Type-UK cars sold! Still, it probably influenced plenty of buyers to go for the regular Imprezas of the day.
When they were new in Japan they came with the picture of the car from above it so you could see it in all its glory,I have one put away in its tube,if you go on 22b then go on images you can see it but I couldnt paste it
