I was after a cheap winter chariot and was thinking about an old Subaru or suchlike when I came across it and couldn't resist.
Does anybody know how many there are left in the UK?
The chap selling it seems to think this is the only Touring.
Has anybody had any experiences with one before?
I have taken a chance and have paid a deposit for it unseen as I am away working at the moment.
It looks very straight with decent history.
Unfortunatly I won't get it for two weeks until I'm home so fingers crossed its ok.
I would post up some pics but its a work computer.
It's gonna be a long two weeks!
biggrin

Nice choice. You'll have soem fun with that.

There's plenty of tourings about. Saloons are certainly thinner on the ground, though.

I think the E34s were available in the UK but the E30s are all imports and LHD. I could be wrong though.

I didn't realise that!
I don't expect it will handle too sharply anyway.
