There’s something special about a Subaru Impreza 555 with a Scottish flag on it. Especially when the Saltire’s alongside the name McRae.
When Alister McRae lines up at the start of the Logiman Mythical Cars Rally on Friday May 26, he’ll have a big smile on his face.
“When you see – or hear – one of these cars, it’s impossible not to smile,” he said. “Obviously, the 555 is fairly close to the heart for the McRae family. My brother Colin did quite well in one!”
Alister’s elder brother Colin did, of course, win the 1995 World Rally Championship title in a Group A Subaru Impreza 555, the same specification as the one Alister will drive on the Lombardy asphalt next month.
