Yes or no?

[SUBARU]

Nope... But I have heard of a dark green one floating around... Conversion or import?

[Morgan]

Someone obviously thought green was an awesome colour to paint their suby!

[Shiv]

No, never. Was only available on the 'lesser' models IIRC.

[SUBARU]

Seriously though, I've heard reports of a 40-ish y.o. woman driving around in a green B4... Must be a conversion I reckon.

[Alex]

Nay sayers.

Eat humble pie.




crap pictures, but spotted it in Rouse Hill.

Followed it in, and examined it thoroughly whilst parked in the car park.

Real McCoy down to the last detail. Wheels. Brakes. Badges. Interior. Bonnet. Rev D front end.

EVERYTHING.

AND IT'S GREEN!

GenIII equivalent of loch ness?

[SUBARU]

It's a Commodore.

[Shiv]

Nice spot Alex! FYI - I based my comments on a thread I recall reading on OzLib sometime back where someone said they had a B4 brochure and said there was no green. But that was OzLib so who knows, and I cbf searching on that site as its too darn hard there

I too was under that impression. This must be a super rare factory order. (I mean, who would go to such great bother? An Irishman? I would have settled for a Black on personally!) Either that, or it's a perfect replica. And a perfect replica is probably rarer. As I've never seen a perfect replica of a Gen III AUDM B4 before. I've seen many Gen III conversions, but nothing to this amount of great detail. There's a slip up somewhere. Something goes unnoticed. Not this one. Who knows. There's also rumour that a carmine mica GenIII B4 exists. I think it was on eBay some time ago, but it was more probably than not a conversion.

[Richo]

the pics look convincing enough tbh. Maybe it was a special order?? should have gone and spoken with them about it.

[Morgan]

Wow that is interesting. Good spot Alex.

That is like the same thing i posted in the General Thread a while back! You must be able to order them, I've seen exactly the same thing to the same detail, but it was a MAROON B4!

[buzzda]

Possibly resprayed?? Maybe after a hail damage claim... M&D's Foz got a full respray after the hail storm here couple yrs back.

[Alex]

Insurance claims do not cover colour changes for repair of duco. I've been down that road

[buzzda]

Ok scratch that then ....

[RX25SE]

Well there you go, a green one! My guess is a special order, perhaps by someone 'in the know' ie dealer principal or exec at Subaru oz. Refresh my memory please, what colours did they come in? Silver, blue and white, any others?

Silver, Blue, Black and White ONLY

The maroon and green have to be special orders

[RX25SE]

Oh yeah, black. (As Alex mentioned above. ) Ta.

[Mosti]

There was also a 1 off copper colour

[B4TT]

There you go hey.... a green one
