Subaru did not officially sell the Series 1 turbocharged Legacy in the UK. However, a small number were imported by Subaru UK to be used as press demonstrators, rally cars or rally support vehicles and the car modelled, K284 TFD, was one of these. Although built in 1989 it was registered in Dudley after August 1992, having sat unused in Prodrive's rally preparation workshop, and then sold off as the Impreza became Subaru's front line rally car. Sister car K282 TFD was McRae's '92 RAC Rally car whilst another, K288 TFD, was a press demonstrator that was re-shelled after being crashed by a journalist.
