actually no beacause they are right hand drive, i was asking him if the mv was more rare than the brat.

Shouldnt it have the 1600 logo on the hood, or was that just wagons from over seas?

Seen this over on MV/Brat/Brumby! Very clean, and very well done. Nice to see you on USMB!

actually no beacause they are right hand drive

 

 

Exactly, it is a right-hand drive Brat.

UK Brat = MV

Australia Brat = Brumby

 

The base wagons, sedans, etc. were also called Leones in Australia and Japan; vs the trim levels. (GL or DL)

 

In the UK the sedans and wagons are trims too, but go by ME, MV, etc.

 

 

Nice Subie 81MV :D

This is pretty interesting. I've always wondered if there was a Badge on them stating the model/trim level. We have GL/DL/Brat, Would Aus/UK actually have a badge that says Brumby/MV? That would be cool.

I like how they put the 4WD logo where the BRAT logo should be.
