Iv taken photo of my plate anyone identify exactly what model subaru I have here and is it an import or uk. it was registered1995 with a v2 engine ej20

I'm pulling my hair out searching all over the net there's very little information about my serials

There should be also be a vin number stamped on the bulkhead just above the intercooler, if it's an import will be shorter than uk car,

I'll try find the link to decoding vin no's on here somewhere the option and trim code are pointless trying to decipher as no one seems to know much about them

Vin on bulkhead matches the vin on the plate

Is it that long ? If so i'd say it's a uk car as mine is about 8 digits long

The gc8ck8d number is the model code, I haven't had chance too look but have a squint on scoobypidia

Uk/european car. Can tell cos jap cars have a 7 digit number for the vin instead of 16 digit cide

Think you're probably right there tidgy as my 97 v3 uk had the same code apart from the second "c" in your code was replaced by a "e" in mine .

The paint code (406) is the same as both of my classics so it looks like your scoob was originally a silver v2 uk turbo [emoji6]

although totlay different car, this is what a jap vin number looks like

 

 

vin is just a number, not a 16 digit  code

comes back as a 1995/96 uk turbo

Cheers guys at least I know it's definitely a UK turbo v2 only thing that made me curios was my insurance company questioned it saying are u sure it's not an import and from what I knew it was a UK but just wanted to double check

Usually cosmetic clues give an import away but it's not always the case

rear wiper is a dead give away for an import

Mine doesn't have the rear wiper

UK'S and some ra's don't have rear wipers but all import wrx and sti models do [emoji6]
