Yes, I think it is possibly the prettiest colour combination of the SVX. It's the same colour that Bipa has in Germany.

Wanna see another shot?

It just ocurred to me also Phil. The dealer was using the chassis number to identify the jpegs. As you can see, it's a CXW model, and I would say the number is the correct in series, probably a late '91 or a '92 car.

Yeah, I noticed. Early 92 I reckon: I think Ricky's car is one of the last from 91 and this one is about 70 cars later.

Certainly a rare colour. Do you think it was done to special order or is it a respray?

Not special order. It's a real Subaru colour. I have some [really big!] photos of a car in Australia with this colour. The bodywork and paint is immaculate. James probably knows the car.

The colour is called Ruby Mica. The first time I noticed it was on a crashed car on one of the Japanese websites I surf.

It may not have been on offer in the UK. It seems to have been available in Japan, Australia and on the continent. I think Bipa mentioned her car came from Switzerland. I have never seen this colour in the US.

They might have sold more SVXs if they produced a few more in that colour. Good metallic reds are few and far between.
