Picked up my new scoob today
 

Well, many of you know i have been looking to change my classic for something newer.
Having given up on the RAR due to its very high price & rareness and missing out on an S204, i had stopped looking .
Then The Pieman (Ron)sent me a link to a scoob.
I picked Ron up at 04.30am and he joined me for a 15 hour round trip to take a look.

The owner Steve and his wife mandy were waiting with a large plate of bacon rolls and mugs of tea a plenty, which were much needed, and very much apreciated.

It was chucking it down, but once it stopped for a few mins we got the cloths out and took a long hard look at the scoob, and it was just as described.

I could go on and on about this car, but i will save it,as i am going to bore you all many many times in future threads.
The car is filthy with bugs after a 7 hour drive, so a good clean required before i post any pics.

In an only fools and horse style
I am proud to unveil the "lesser Scoob"
Yep the only white P1 in existance - A very happy man indeed :doubleup:

Big thanks to Steve for parting with such a special scoob.

very nice but errr.....i thought you were buying the s204?:norty:

very nice!!

:lol: nice cheesy vid! enjoy mate,8-) looking forward to germany even more now!!!!:beer:

It fell through Tim, A guy from france put a deposit on it, then a week later i got a call to say it was for sale again.
wont go into details on here.

Am happy as have a rare scoob and saved a load of dosh,compared to the S204/RAR budget.

need more pics mate :)

More pics mate & what a beauty! :drive:

I had the camera ready just in case you gave me the call mate!

But I kinda guessed you would be too shagged and the car fly splatted to do tonight.

Glad you are back safe and sound. And you are not deaf or shaken to bits either!

Happy days fella, I am well chuffed for you mate.

:drive:

Can you take such a rare car to the Ring?

I have hundreds i mean hundreds as its very well documented, all sorts of magazines.
Have all the test docs from Prodrive, it had a hard first 6500 km being tested at Mira, Milbrook and the Ring. Makes great reading.

To Quote Darth Vadar!

Crowman........... it is your des....tiny!
:mrgreen:

Cheers mate.
Yeah shattered big time.

Uploading some now.

I can't act shocked as I've known for over a week lol

You have yourself a fine well documented Subaru there Squire :yeah:

How did it feel on the way home mate ?

Its about the only scoob i didnt guess.... Would have got you more drunk to find out, but the nekked ladies took my mind off quizzing you lol

Oh favoured blue eyed one! :worthy:

lol, yeah, Thanks for all the info and help mate.
Felt nice on motorway, very responsive, would benefit from a decat, but have to be very careful of any mods as will ruin its uniqueness.

I had to wait 6 hours until i got off motorway and played with it a little, was stunning, poo to a blanket.

A little selection of pics that Steve the guy i brought it off gave me on a disc.

I will of course be putting my stamp on it over the next few months.
It needs a little paint work, nothing major.

That is ****ing awesome, enjoy!

Congrats mate, very well done on picking up such a rare beast. It looks great and cant wait to see it next year at the ring.:10:

:worthy: very nice indeed!!

Nice , did you sell the other white classic or is it his & hers !

wow !

Im jealous, thats a one in a million :10::worthy:

Very nice, a albino P1 :ok:

awesome,love it

Looking good - love the history of it as well.

10/10 mate nice car

Nice one Martyn, very nice scoob.
Do you intend to try and get hold of the original style alloys. They were gold speedlines with ally rims IIRC.

Very Very nice, and so rare to, didnt know this was for sale either, Thats one to hang on for a while to, thumbs up dude!

Good to have such a well known car local :)

Hi Scott
Yes mate, am going to look for a mint set, also the car needs a few bits of paint work, nothing major, but has a few rust bubbles that need attention asap.

I will keep the wheels on it as i really like them and they are brand new, but will swap over for shows.

question is, do i decat? its really noticeable .
I wont go for big and loud for obviose reasons

Was thinking maybe Miltek

Love it, and nice to know you wont bump into another one aswell. And those seats................ :worthy:

Really looking forward to seeing it at some point.

Hi Mate
Its going on piston heads this week for 4.5k

Lovely car mate, and you cant get much rarer than that!

as i said on facebook, doesn't get much rarer than that mate.

like James, i never would have guessed on this - thought you were after a rare hawk of one type or another.

stunning car though, and a real piece of Subaru history. :doubleup:

Stunning car mate. Great purchase!!

Hi Mate
I was completely set on a rare hawk, got fed up looking and was actually looking at all sorts of diferent cars, jap, german and even italian.
Then Ron pointed me at this one. which i am pleased to say ticks all the boxes for me. And on top of that its half the budget i had in mind.

Like we have said many times in the last few weeks, it's the fact that this car is a one off. You really have got something far rarer than the cars you were looking at initially.

There will always be another S204 somewhere, there will NEVER be another P1 Prototype :ok:

Enjoy driving a bit of history mate :drive:

May have a TSL grp 'N' soon (classic & newage fitement).

more piccies of the P1 proto : http://forums.sidc.co.uk/topic/14449...-the-p1-gurus/

Lovely Martyn!!

Welcome to the prodrive brake club!!

:SMBLU:

Very nice :) Hope to see it in the flesh at a meeting soon!

Beautiful car!! :doubleup:

:doubleup: very lush :10:

Looks great and is a real one off.

What's really weird is that i was reading about this very car somewhere within the last couple of weeks. Can't for the life of me remember where though.

Amazed that the owner parted ways with the car as this is truly one of a kind.

Their loss is your gain though, nice one! :doubleup:

SPECIAL!!

cant wait to blow it away on the ring.

:rofl: :meow:

Oi, how did you get back in. Thought I had banned you :-)
