The person that gave us the tour said that thay all still run and they have their own rally course set up to drive them on. I wish they would of been testing some cars. They don't let you go in the manufacturing part unless you buy one of their very expensive cars. They also made the STi based P2 there, but didn't have one. They make all the SWRT cars and the racing Aston Martin.

My Dad called them and asked if we could come and look around. It's not very big but lots of racing history in the showroom. Also if you like classic British cars and some modern ones visit Heritage Motor Centre.
Have fun!! What are you going for and how long?

Thanks for the info.

I'm going to grad school in London for the next 12 months. So, I will definitely be dropping by Pro Drive... maybe dropping off a resume too :wink:

The original water/air intercooler with an up rated water pump.

That's awesome. Was that Legacy made for Group N stuff?

Was it ever rallied, or is it just a showroom piece?

This one is Group A and belongs to a Swiss guy that rallied it a couple of times and Prodrive refreshed it and borrowed it for their museum.
Group N Legacy were homologated in those years to.

Notice how Brits are the only people who can make a Ford compact look cool? They love the hell out of those things.
