A formidable 1993 Subaru Legacy RS Group A rally car driven by Ari Vatanen and Richard Burns is one the first consignments for the 2018 Silverstone Auctions Race Retro Competition Car Sale.

The ex-Prodrive model estimated at between £120,000 to £140,000 is up for auction on Friday 23rd February at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire as part of the Race Retro weekend.

Unmistakable in its blue and yellow bodywork, ‘K 555 BAT’ retains many of its original mechanical components, its correct chassis ID plate and evocative number plate, and also boasts the correct ‘works’ engine, 6-speed gearbox and suspension set-up.

Joe Watts, classic car specialist at Silverstone Auctions, said: “We’re thrilled that this Subaru Legacy RS Group A rally car driven by Ari Vatanen and Richard Burns among others is now available for new ownership via Silverstone Auctions at our Race Retro Competition Car Sale.”

The Race Retro Competition Car sale is the first of a number of prestigious sales in 2018 for Silverstone Auctions, including the Race Retro Classic Car Sale the very same weekend.
