S800 WRT was converted to RHD by Prodrive when it finished its 'works team' life and was sold into Ireland I think. Latterly it was owned by Geoff Underhill but he had a massive accident in it in Rallye Sunseeker in 2009 on the opening spectator stage. In order to get Geoff out of the car the cage was cut by the emergency services. Geoff survived with broken bones but the car was not so lucky and was eventually broken for spares as the damage was too severe to make it a viable option to repair. Most bits ended up with SubaruWRCSpares.

S600 WRT was Petters 2003 WRC Championship winning car as I am sure you will know. This too was converted to RHD but this time by Stan Harper in Ireland. The car eventually ended up with the late Tony Davies who used it with great effect on the MSA tarmac championship in the UK. Following Tonys tragic death in a road accident a couple of years ago the car was sold to David Mann who had it converted back to LHD. David used/uses it on the MSA tarmac championship and still is as far as I know.

Hope that helps.

Nick

p.s. PatWalsh13 (a user on here) will undoubtably know the full history of all these cars as he keeps the most comprehensive records I have ever seen!! Pat was also Tony Davies' co-driver on many events in S600 - If you drop him a p.m. I am sure he will help.

Would anyone have a hji res pic of the blue Subaru S12b that Kevin Lynch KPL used on the Killarney rally of the lakes 2008

Vitor Sá drove the car during 2000 and 2001 in Madeira Regional Championship. He did 15 rallys with R30 WRC and won 13.

On the italianwrc.com website there is a S14 Subaru listed with registration WC 10 WRC - it's "sister" car being WC 08 WRC. Does anyone know anything about this car? Seem strange having a 2008 spec WRC on a 2010 UK plate - also thought Prodrive had sold all the cars they'd built with Peter Lloyd getting, I thought anyway, the last car Prodrive had

Also Eian Pritchard now owns the ex Atkinson car JC54WRC

Ex-Boland HT56 SRT is now in Hungarian Korda Racing. Last weekend used by Korda himself in Lausitz Rally, Germany. This weekend Jaromir Tomaštík starts with it in Rally Vsetín, Czech republic.

I search infos about this car (now running in the French Tarmac Championship with Roché) between 2003 and 2007. With some pics, it will be fantastic...

I know loads about it, I built it :)

This car (99.017) is now in France. What about it between 2003 and today ?

I've found some informations:
- 2007-2009: David Mann (Nortech Motorsport)
But nothing between 2002 and 2007.
And I search some pics of Papadimitriou and Heath, in 2000 and 2001.

Was run from the UK from 2002, first with Gary Midwinter, then from 2004 with David Mann.

This is what I've found:
- 2000 : Papadimitriou (10ème Acropole, Chypre, San Remo, 23ème Australie)
- 2001 : Heath (28ème Suède, 20ème Portugal, Chypre, Acropole, San Remo, Australie)
- 2002: Higgins (R.A.C)
- 2003 : Midwinter (Bulldog Rally, Woodpecker Stages, Omloop, Monteberg)
- 2004-2009 : Mann (Championnat des Pays-Bas, Championnat d’Irlande) Nortech Motorsport
- 2010: Genesca (Fenouillèdes)

Oups, big mistake...
This time it must be better...

Hi all, I'm trying to establish the history and whereabouts of P12 WRC. I believe it was the car Colin McRae won the '97 RAC Rally with.

After that I'm unsure of its history up until it was owned by E Garry and then Martin Cairns ? I understand it's currently owned by James Gillen ? and resides in Ireland ? Can anyone confirm this ?

Does anyone have ANY recent (last 5 years) pictures of the car or know when it was last used in competition ?

Many thanks in advance

As far as I have recorded, this car was used by Allstars in 98 and then by Katto, Snijers and Dor in some rallies during 1999. In 2001 it was bought by Dick Wiksell in Sweden and used there by him in 2001-2003. I think it was bought from Derek McGarritty's Company.

Thanks for that information rallyake, it's much appreciated. Does anyone have further information on the cars life in Ireland, its current owner and any photos of it in action ?

Thank you in advance.

the ex-Allstars was owned campaigned by Paul Bourne in Barbados.

Paul owned the car for at least five years judging by the information on the V5.
During the time Paul owned the car it was involved in an accident that required it to be re-shelled. A shell was aquired off Prodrive (build number 022)

http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/a...hellNumber.jpg

This shell looks to have been a '99 shell as it has the extra bracing/fillets around the windscreen aperture of the '99 cars.

Steve Furzeland imported the car back to the UK for me in 2008 and I sent the car to Melvyn Evans for the bodywork to be renovated and the engine to have a partial rebuild.by Graham Sweet.

Here is the car on arrival at Melvyns workshop :

And after Melvyns renovation :

http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/a...ber2007003.jpg

I intended to hillclimb and sprint the car but never got round to it.
In 2009 I placed the car back on the market and in August of that year Prodrive bought the car off me on behalf of a Japanese client.
They stripped the car (undoing all Melvyns hard work in the process !) then painted it World Rally blue and shipped it to Japan for the client to place in his collection.

chassis 22 was R9 WRC ,Stolen in SanRemo 1999 Oldrati Procar Team

Really Pad ? One of the staff at SGM in Banbury (Prodrives' bodyshop) seemed to think that Prodrive had a shell in storage and it went out to Barbados. Perhaps we've just solved the mystery of what happened to R9 WRC . . . . . :eek:
I noticed when I peeled a sticker off the roll cage it was painted red underneath. Was R9 WRC ever painted red ?

If someone want to buy a Subaru rally car, Mads Ostberg is selling a lot, to get room for the Fords.
Not sure if he has advertid them yet, but contact info here:

Is this Steiermark 1999? Thought Achim only used P2 WRC during that year.
