Alex dyer Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hello to everyone out there reading. I have recently acquired a 1982 1800GLF Auto It has been dry stored since 1985 and has a cracking 20,000 mile on it. The car is almost in mint condition. The Interior Is perfect all be it brown velour! And the engine and gear box are also perfect. I put it through an MOT This week and it only failed on one wheel cylinder! I found that pretty amazing!. My reasons for joining the forum was to see if I could access the wealth of knowledge from your members! I have no space to keep the car and I am wishing to sell it. I have checked on www.howmanyleft.com and this would seem to be the only one of its kind on the road in the UK. This I thought may bring some appeal to it. If anyone has any bright ideas as to where I would be able to get the best price possible for it I would greatly appreciate it. I am not even sure if there is a vintage market for subarus?? I do hope so! I look forward to any input anyone may have to help. Regards Alex 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 WOW!! That looks a great car. They are indeed very rare and it wouldn't surprise me that it's the only one on the road. I had not heard of any classic Subaru either and I guess the best place to market it would be a classic car forum rather than a Subaru forum.

Jay762 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Wotcha and welcome - an interesting find and clearly mint but as TLag suggested a classic car forum may be more helpful with collectors as members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex dyer Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi thanks for your responses. I am just starting to get it out there as I have no idea what it is worth. I have just posted it on a classic car web site as suggested so will hope for something from there. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi and welcome to S.O.C Amazing find I'd be shocked if there isn't a buyer for it subaru does have an amazing following of its cars. As for price of your car I've not got a clue either. So rather you than me [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex dyer Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi I haven't even put it up for sale yet! I thought I would ask around the forums to see if I can acertain a value for it. I will take a load of photos tomorrow of the interior and engine bay etc and post them. I'm not even sure where to advertise! Any ideas? Be sure this is 100% for sale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 My first Subaru was a blue 1800 GLF hatchback and the interior was similar to your beauty but the outside wasn't the same. Yours has twin front headlights and mine has single units. Mine was a manual 4 speed with lo ratio. Loved it but it rotted away to nothing. Hope you get a good price for that car.
