UK Cars (Turbo)
HI Guys
As you can all see I'm the new boy and at the moment a non scooby owner , but my nice fresh bank loan will sort that out nicely
Sorry if this has been asked before (have used the search button ) or if I'm being a bit thick but what year did Subaru start selling Turbo models in the UK as being only 23 I have no hope of insuring an Import.
Thanks
Chris

my uk is a 95 n-plate about as early as you get i think.
keep an eye out for the mcrae/prodrive interior on the my95 ,a lot better than the standard. (1490quid option according to the receipt i've still got)
happy hunting

A giveaway is the boot should have 'S U B A R U' in chrome letters and a 'Impreza Turbo 2000 AWD' stcicker.
WRX/STi have neither of these.
If want UK try and find a UK 'Prodrive' edition as these came with Recaro Seats, better alloys, lowered springs and a dash plaque.
They didn't release many or these, something like 25 per year from 1994 to 1996.
If you can stretch to a Series McRae from 1995, that would be even better. Same as the Prodrive edition really, but with McRae embroidered on the seats and different wheels (although a Prodrive edition did have a choice of wheels, including the McRae Safari's)
Here's my old Prodrive Edition.....

I Have Got 5K sitting in the bank and that is my limit, so looks like the prodrive etc are out of the question. Really just want a good (with a couple of mods if poss) UK Turbo Car.
