Missus returned from the deceased estate with some Subaru sales stuff.
Looks like the old bloke was looking at a GenII LX 2WD wagon back in the day. $29990 is written on the front of the brochure.
Inside is full of news paper road tests that were done at the time.
He was obviously impressed with Subarus because he bought a 6cyl Camry wagon. 
Also have the 2002 model range brochure, dealer list and pricing at 01/03/2002
A GenIII RX manual is listed at $36890 and a manual B4 at $55130. No auto B4 is listed??
No mention of a RX Special Edition anywhere.
