Not been on as often as I would like (or should) , but I am still tinkering away with my trucks . I swore I had all the Pickups I wanted or needed but as usual when you say (or promise the Mrs) that...... Something always comes along. This is what came along for me "MO"

I have owned pick ups for years and always admired the Subaru so, well done on buying one of the best of it's type. There was nothing else to compare with it when it was current and even now.

A local part time farmer/ smallholder bought one the last ones new in 1994.
It's on a "M" registration, a deep blue colour and is/was one of the high spec. ones with alloy wheels.

In 2013 he still owns it and it is clearly very well looked after.

Ellis , Thanks for the vote of confidence Wink

I have always had a liking for the Subaru Pickup since first seeing one in NZ in 1978. Over the past couple of years I have taken it a bit farther and me and another bloke started an online forum dedicated to them. With only about 400 left on British roads (with another 500+ SORNed off ) they are becoming collectable and prices are rising slowly. Also I have a Flickr account dedicated to them too. If your interested in either have a look here.... "MO"
