This \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale model by Top Marques captures car No. 2 as it appeared in the 1993 British Rally Championship, carrying the Prodrive-run team's distinctive blue and gold livery — and bearing the names of Richard Burns and Robert Reid on the entry list. It is a precise record of a car that mattered, at a moment that mattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"legacy-rs-group-a\"\u003eThe Subaru Legacy RS in Group A\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BC\/BF-generation Legacy RS was Subaru's primary rally weapon in the World Rally Championship and British Rally Championship during the early 1990s. Its EJ20 turbocharged flat-four produced approximately 300 bhp in Group A specification — the same engine architecture that would later power the Impreza through its most successful WRC seasons. The Legacy RS was Prodrive's tool of choice before the transition to the Impreza WRX, and its 1993 BRC campaign represents the final chapter of that pioneering programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"burns-reid-1993-brc\"\u003eBurns, Reid and the 1993 British Rally Championship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Burns was an emerging British talent when he contested the 1993 British Rally Championship for Prodrive's Subaru outfit. Robert Reid navigated from the co-driver's seat — a partnership that would endure for years and ultimately deliver the 2001 FIA World Rally Championship title. Burns is one of a very small number of British drivers to win the WRC outright. The No. 2 Legacy RS from the 1993 BRC season therefore represents both the origins of a remarkable career and the final expression of Subaru's pre-Impreza rally identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"topmarques-1-18-model\"\u003eThe Top Marques \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e Resin Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is produced by Top Marques, a manufacturer known for covering subjects that mainstream producers rarely address. The Legacy RS in Burns\/Reid BRC-winner specification is precisely that kind of subject: historically significant, visually distinctive in its blue and gold livery, and seldom seen at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e. The model is presented with a display case included. For collectors focused on the origins of Subaru's rally heritage or on the early career of Richard Burns, this release occupies a gap that few others fill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOPMARQUES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56550131761536,"sku":"TOP118C","price":248.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-top118c-front34-v2.jpg?v=1793210212","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/subaru-legacy-rs-n-2-winner-british-rally-1993-richard-burns-robert-reid-con-vetrina-with-showcase-157901","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
