Just wanted to drop in a note, I was going to film an intro to this, but I have been slammed.

It took quite a bit of convincing to get Ali to talk to us on camera, so to be respectful I shot from my hip without looking at the viewfinder the entire time and I just had a natural as possible conversation with him. Sorry for the terrible framing and audio. I just really wanted to tell his story. Enjoy.

2-3 year queue, so wild but that's the reality of shops like this that are dedicated to special models

[grantsearles]

The quality of content is unparalleled on youtube for cars. Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Mazda and Honda need to take note and start producing heritage parts for these cars before it's too late. glad we have shops like these around the world putting in the effort to keep these classics alive.

I feel bad that men like this, what seems to be a good honest man with a small business are being killed off worldwide by multi national corporations. I hope he flourishes and succeeds. May God Bless him and his family.

Amazing sneak peak into, quite possibly, the most accurate and detailed Subaru restorer in the world. Wonderful decision to cover this!

[Durgenheim]

This is a true labor of love - just a total dedication to a cause that a vast majority of people would never even think of, let alone appreciate. Absolutely fascinating to see.

I was around in the Subaru forum world when the 22B was initially announced in Japan and remember every single retail 22B selling out as pre-sales. I wanted one bad but all I was able to get was a GC8 4-Door RS. Man. Those were the days. This video brought a tear and a smile to my face. So glad to see people still in love with this car as much as I am.

I've been to Ali's a few times now, it makes it easy to tott up sightings of 22b's lol as its guaranteed there will be some there 😂

Ali is a top guy, he swapped out a seized caliper on the front of my type r for one he refurbished when I was passing by one day. Only took few minutes and the caliper is still in perfect working order.

Ali Burrows rebuilt my engine to fully forged. Top job and top guy.

Im happy just thrashing my £5k gc8 around the lanes of Wales😁

[jasonsoto]

As an owner of a coupe impreza. This would place would be amazing to tour. 😍

This man is the God of all 22b Subarus.

[CraigFrost-bi]

How have i never heard of Ali. Im in Birmingham, England. Thanks for this. Thats a treasure trove.

[lepermessiyah]

No surprise with how meticulous Ali is that his numbers are spot on. Australia did get 5 and one went straight to Subaru Australia. A lot of people tend to fudge numbers and Subaru specific details so its rare to see especially on yt someone so accurate.

The serial number 000 22B prototype with the 2.0 engine was residing in Connecticut a couple of years ago. Had the pleasure of seeing it in person. Was in Redline Restorations and owned by @jdmsupreme

[nonalcoholicmartini]

This guy's shop is absolutely bonkers

[christophermcnicholas]

He’s got the cleanest workshop I’ve ever seen. His whole place looks like a dream to work in. Nice chap as well he gave me a shorter but similar tour when I was up there. What a place

[sidbobby]

The knowledge this man has is next level. Prices are crazy, shame that they will just sit in collections. Top video 😎👊👍✌👌

The 22B on Gran Turismo was one of my favorite cars; I cannot believe how much they've appreciated in value!
