Default Coin with a classic on it?

My daughter collects various coins that she likes, and told me that she had one with a Subaru on it. Doubt it said I as she has no interest in cars, to which she replied it's an Isle of Man one. Oh,may be said I, thinking of the recent lap records at the TT. It's 1997 says she, 20p, and sure enough it's a classic, bit worn. I'll photo it if I can get it off her!

As has been said, she is indeed correct. It's got a classic imoreza and an escort cosworth on. They don't appear to be particularly rare/sought after, I bought one sometime last year and it only cost a couple of quid.

I'd be surprised (though you never know) but to be honest that wasn't why I bought it. It was just a bit of interesting Subaru memorabilia and it was only a couple of quid, so i figured why not.
