SUMMARY
Number 203/200 is one of only 17 of these rare special-editions believed to still be on the road in the UK.
DESCRIPTION
- The Catalunya was built to celebrate Richard Burns winning the Catalunya round of the previous year's World Rally Championships
- It was based on the UK Turbo 2000 with some attractive upgrades such as body colour matched door handles and mirrors, red and black upgraded seats and door trims, a numbered plaque, air-conditioning, interior mats with logos and Limited Edition Catalunya badges on the rear
- The model sat on 16″ gold alloy wheels, and, like the previous McRae model, just 200 cars were produced by Prodrive. It was priced at £21,160 and entered dealers in March 1997
- This is number 203 of 200 and possibly the last (some numbers are considered unlucky by the Japanese and not used)
- It's currently indicating 85,065 miles. The service history details a cambelt change at 77,405 miles
- Some changes from standard include an HKS Dump-valve, white faced Lamco boost gauge and the gold wheels are now white
- Both sets of keys and the original handbook with service book. MOT until September 2023 issued with no advisories
