Within recent years, rally cars have taken on a high profile in enthusiast circles, becoming some of the most collectible motorsport machines.

Can you believe the Subaru Impreza has only been around for thirty years? In that time it’s been practically everything — a rally monster, a drift demon, an overland explorer, even a stance icon.
