Well, I have been checking ebay, and they keep coming up - must be the 'recession' or some crap! Have updated numbers, most have looked pretty mint as well.

Default Number82

All, I have number 82 P555***. It lives in a garage near Solihull and comes out to play when the weather is nice. I bought it from Carstins about 11 years ago. It has modded brakes hifi and wheels, otherwise it is original. I keep it taxed and insured all year as it is brilliant in the snow It's still pretty minty.

130 mph not 30, and yes indeed speed kills!!
Just goes to show how much false confidence the Impreza turbo can give you. 130mph is still 130mph in anyone's book. I realise the driver has had a rough ride with rehabilitation and I'm sure he has sleepless nights about the accident, but I hope his was convicted of dangerous driving or similar. There aren't many motorways with side turnings on for a car to pull out off, so I can only assume that this took place or an A or B road?

Shocking disregard for his own and other peoples safety.

I'm not saying that I drive everywhere at 30mph in my WRX, but I don't think I've had it over 90mph in the 5 months of ownership. 30-70mph is where the real fun is anyway.

I was the 2nd owner of Cat 192.

It had the gearbox 'O' ring problem sorted just before the 3yr/60,000 mile guarantee.

Passed back to leasing company in 2002 after failing to sell it for more than the residual value of £6.5K, despite apparently being worth £12k.

I'm going for a second look on Tuesday so will have a more detailed inspection then. All looks good atm, mostly unmolested apart from some mesh on the scoop and vents, a dv and a cone filter, all of which will be removed/replaced.

According to an online resource "howmanyleft" there are 62 cars registered and taxed on our roads as Catalunyas and 39 sorned.

I have no reason to believe that this is an inaccurate figure but bear in mind sometimes imports are registered poorly, we have seen a few import cars registered as 22Bs for sale on eBay.

Yeah but Cats were official UK cars not imports. Basically if it's a UK car with a black mica psint code on the VIN plate it's a Cat as the only black UK classics were Cats.

Nice to see one being kept original, I've seen several for sale on ebay over the years, usually with chavvy angel eye lights and most things changed (wheels/spoiler in particular). Crazy that the Catalunya, Terzo and RB5 numbers combined total less than the run of P1's yet sell for peanuts.

Subaru could have done so much better with their late 90's special additions instead of just tarting up uk2000's. Using an STI as a base and adding some wrc influences would have worked a lot better IMO
