Not quite! The one in town has large single round headlights. That one must be for your home market or something. I'm not sure we got those over here!
Right, I've just phoned my friend and he says the one I'm on about is a Mark I and it has a 1600cc engine, rather than the later 1800cc.

Gah! That is the one that I would cheerfully detonate a small explosive device in my trousers in order to own.

Are these the same vehcile as the estate and the coupe and all that?
I looked at buying a 1970s Subaru Coupe once, a few years ago, I was talked out of it by a mate saying that I'd never get any parts for it. It was a fastback, not like those hatchback ones, and had the single round headlights. I think it had a name on it, although it may have just been "Coupe XT" or something. It was really really mint low miles and red. Wonder if its still about? IIRC it was on erither an N reg or an S reg. Were these not FWD rather than 4x4 though?
I saw a Subaru XT Estate in Loughgborough before Christmas, parked up next to us by the Nuns. That had the square front lights and I think was a B reg. Nice looking car. Bronze metallic. Pretty sure that was 4x4

Living in Norfolk there’s quite a few I see around, though Aux’s not one of them AFAIK! Oldest I regularly see is on ‘E’, and I saw a K-plater drive past me only at lunchtime when out for a wander (photographed it before).
Wuvvum from autoshite has one, brought it to mine a couple of weeks ago when we went on the Accord collection mission.
I think they’re popular wherever there was a decent dealer, hence there were always a few around my home village of Boxford in the 80’s as they had a Subaru outlet (the garage that had the Justy van for sale recently), and I believe there was one here in Attleborough at the same time.
I watched a few and agree that they rarely go cheaply on eBay. What about the hatchback that someone’s tried to sell a few times on there? Think he has a couple of them.
It seems from the above that with these older Subarus it’s worth paying a bit more for a goodun than trying to fix up a rough one, for long term ownership anyway.

I'll see if I can get a picture of the one in town for you. It's about quite often, so I just need to have my camera with me and my brain switched on when I see it. Mike |

I saw a Subaru XT Estate in Loughgborough before Christmas, parked up next to us by the Nuns. That had the square front lights and I think was a B reg. Nice looking car. Bronze metallic. Pretty sure that was 4x4 Alistair The XT was just a coupe - the weird wedge-shaped one! They were 4x4, apart from the really early ones. I know someone who is really into these things and owns one. It is a nightmare to get parts for and he has even got to know people at Subaru through his constant search for parts! Whenever I see one (which isn't often), I always note the location and registration number for him because he is always desperately after other ones to buy, to get parts for his one! Mike |

I assume Alastair meant this thingy:  Subaru Leone RX-II 4WD Turbo Apparently! Also these were apparently available in the UK (probably just called 'coupe DX' or sommert. In fact I remember seeing them at motor shows in the 80's but have never seen one on the road. |
