Nice SVX btw!!

Well actually there are not too many more than that, even including yours and Huck's.

There could be one or two lurking out there that we do not know about, but here is the gen on the ones we do know of, and primarily I am talking about factory issued yellows, code 518 Bright Yellow.

So far as we know there were two known yellow cars in Australia, and I think Subaru Australia bought back one of those.

In England we only know of two yellow SVXs sold. One of these was written off and scrapped. The other one is Malcolm's car, he still has it and it is a lovely car, well minded.

Germany was a very big market for the SVX. In the German SVX club, there were usually two yellow SVXs to be seen at the multiple car meetings. [ these two are all we know about; other yellow cars could have been sold, we don't have a way of finding out.] One of these cars has been sold to our member Tone in Portugal. Presumably the other yellow car is still in Germany.

So the known factory yellows at this time are:
Two in Oz, one owned by Subaru, one in use.
Two in England, one scrapped, one owned by Mal.
Two in Germany, one is now in Portugal, presumably, and one in use.

So of the 6 we know we can only bank on 5 survivors. Add in 2 colour changes in the USA, you are still only up to seven known yellow cars in use in the World.

That is a very low number, making it the rarest SVX
