Does anyone know what has happened to the white S80 V8's which were used as pace cars on Wales Rally GB up to 2018 and possibly other WRC events as they were left hand drive, they sounded gorgeous and though subjective their pace appeared comparable with top competitors and certainly quicker than Impreza which was used in 2019

They were S60's.

I think they all went up for sale last year and a few are now appearing as private sales or with specialist dealers for serious money.
