Ade Jones over on type-ra.com is organising this event at Prodrive's facility (although the new one) to celebrate the 555 cars
"2016 marks 20 years since the end of the iconic Group A era.
To celebrate this milestone and the effect on us all as Impreza owners and enthusiasts, Ade
@ASJ came up with the idea of a Group A celebration event at the home of Subaru Group A cars, Prodrive.
The event takes place at Prodrive's HQ in Banbury on Saturday 19th November 2016 between 11am and 2pm (approx).
Several Group A Imprezas are confirmed for the event but we are still seeking more should anyone know of any.
We are also asking all MY96 V-Limited & V2 555 owners to come forward to have their cars featured as part of the event."
He already has the following confirmed:
N555 WRC
N555 BAT (now with original spoiler)
N1 WRC (complete with now original livery and spoiler)
He is hoping for L555 BAT and a few more to attend also along with a load of type RA's and V-Limiteds
I've my flight booked. From Dublin to East Midlands (Nottingham/Derby) with Ryanair for only €20 return!!!
Flight out at 08.05 and land at 09.10
Collect hire car (€30) and drive approx 1hr 20 mins to Prodrive
Flight back is at 16.25.
You have about 3 hours (thats all the event is scheduled for anyway!) to nose about the 555 cars and hopefully get a factory tour although numbers are limited I believe.
Anyway just said I'd post it here to let anybody else interested know.
