History wanted of Subaru Impreza Group A L555SRT required please

[johnmulholland]

I am trying to fill in some of the gaps in the history of my recently purchased Ex-Works Subaru Impreza Group A rally car registered L 555 SRT.

I would be grateful for any knowledge regarding this car - pictures, videos, books, entry lists etc etc

As far as I know the car was used by Colin McRae on the 94 Monte Carlo, Richard Burns on the 94 New Zealand rally, Pierro Liatti on the 96 Malasyia, Thailand, Indonesia and New Zealand rallies, Possum Bourne on the 95 Malaysia.

Any help would be greatfully appreciated as I am currently restoring this car to its former glory.

I think this was the car that Jimmy Patterson used in Scotland. If it is the same one, then I witnessed him roll it on the Granite City Rally I think in 2004 when he debuted it and was running as flying course car.

The car had been refettled by Wayne Lee Motorsport in Cumbria, the same outfit that used to run Alan Dickson's red Impreza WRC on the Scottish Championship.

You may know all this already so apologies if you were only looking for history of the car in the time it was in the WRC.

it has now come to light that Aris Vovos bought the car from Prodrive in 1997 and he used it up until the end of 1998 where he won the greek championship in it.Any photos or details most welcome l555 srt
John Papadimitriou then bought it at the end of 1998 and also used it in the greek championship winning a rally in Italy.Please help again with photos.John used it that year also on Coppa Liburna,Acropolis and in 2000 Sweden,Argentina,New Zealand and Rally GB.
