TheLoyale Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Look closer, those are hub caps. Yes, I also thought Subaru offered hubcaps like that on their line of vehicles in the 80s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Since the Subaru X100 was posted... I'll post another Old Subaru Prototype! Back in the 1980's Decade, Subaru had the AWD Performance, the Luxury Electronics (Electric Powered everything), even a Six Cylinder Boxer engine (the ER27), etc... but Not a Full Sedan Body to make a Luxury Grand Tourer... So the British Company named: International Automotive Design (IAD) ... (that Company also Worked with Subaru in the SRD Concept -Shown Below- I posted Lots of Pics & info of the SRD in Previous Posts of THIS Thread) ...Decided to Stretch a Subaru XT6 Body, to Make it a 4 Door Grand Tourer Sedan. They also added More (Yes... ... Even More!) Electronics; The Result was Named: Subaru Royale The Subaru Royale, an imposing Luxury Express (Grand Tourer) Sedan with Mature Lines. The interior was Perhaps its most Striking Feature, Decked out with leather and High-Tech Equipment, including one of the World's Most Sophisticated Hi-Fi Systems Ever Seen on a Car. Intended for Businessmen and Entrepreneurs, the Subaru Royale was a Study in Passenger Comfort and Space. The interior, developed Between IAD and Phillips, was Finished off in White Leather. Centrally-Mounted Information Centre and Navigational System with Revolving Rotary Key Pads, Replaced Conventional Controls for the in-car Entertainment System, Duplicated Front and Rear. Based on a Stretched Subaru XT6 Body, the Subaru Royale also incorporated an LED Screen Display, Integrated into the Tail Lights which Displayed Information About Road Safety... I Didn't Posted anythin' about the Subaru Royale Before, 'cos I Wasn't Sure it was Really a Subaru... I Only Had this Old Magazine Scan: and old Car Magazines only Refered it as the Royale. Could it's name be the Seed of the Subaru Idea to Rename its 1980's Luxury Sedan as "Loyale" ??? Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Star Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I'm kinda liking the look of dropped EA81 wagons... bentgrill 's wagon: steven304 's wagon: Yea, totally impractical but kinda fun.

TheLoyale Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not totally impractical. It sits about as high as an Impreza, still high enough for snow. Yea, totally impractical but kinda fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not totally impractical. It sits about as high as an Impreza, still high enough for snow. True Both are riding on bumpstops and have cut springs though, doesn't that affect handling to a degree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 This is an EA81 wagon, and you are worried about handing? :-p But yes, I'm sure its extremely stiff and bounces a lot which is not great in snowy conditions. Those Iceland guys have some amazing Subarus out there way. True Both are riding on bumpstops and have cut springs though, doesn't that affect handling to a degree?

bheinen74 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I do know the cops around here are giving faulty equip tickets to the ones that are lowered and rub on bumps. Not safe if the springs are cut either.not for street driving. off road use only. meaning track car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah, same thing goes for WI. Could always tie some chains on those springs and compress them, like they used to do on lowriders I do know the cops around here are giving faulty equip tickets to the ones that are lowered and rub on bumps.

tundrabrat Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I don't really know any info on that Brat, sorry guys. It was quite a while ago I saved those pictures. This is a Domingo...

6 Star Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) bonvo said: that sticker in the tailgate is epic You sir get a cyber high-five Come to think of it, Warthogs do kinda resemble Brats, from the side at least. :-p -EDIT- Apologies, PressingOnward... never saw your question about the bed tarp... not that it matters all these years later to you, but that Brumby probably has an aftermarket bed tarp. They may have been made in OZ... there were factory bed tarps also available...
