Unmistakable in its blue and yellow bodywork, ‘K 555 BAT’ was leading the 1993 Acropolis Rally in the hands of Vatanen, ahead of the likes of similarly world-famous rally racers Tommi Makinen, Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae.
Meanwhile, Burns raced it to a second-place finish at the 1995 Bettega Memorial Rallysprint in Italy.
In 2008 the Richard Burns Collection acquired the car and commissioned Subaru rally specialists Autosportif Engineering Ltd to return it to its original guise.
The process was overseen by ex-Prodrive guru Ian Richardson, whose specialist knowledge and original technical drawings meant that a brand new, authentic Prodrive-spec Legacy shell was made.
However, it retains many of its original mechanical components, its correct chassis ID plate and evocative number plate. It also boasts the correct ‘works’ engine, 6-speed gearbox and suspension set-up.
