Love this Brumby/Brat. I owned a 1986 in the U.S. that I gave to my brother-in-law in Mexico. He used it for high school and in turn, gave it to his father after graduation. To this day, my father-in-law still drives it in a small town/pueblito with cobblestone streets in central Mexico.

I had a friend who had one of these, He always referred to the back seats as the wife and mother in law seats although never in there presence

I am in America, and I am painting a Subaru brat right now, and badging it as a Brumby. So a left hand drive brumby. I am going to get a bull bar sent over to go on the front and get some Brumby decals.

Nobody's "destroying" an old brat, more than scrapping a rusted out shell, we all know that's what happens and all the old ones that have been sitting out in lots uncovered are rusted away now. I saved a few. I cut one Brat up with a sawzall (rusted beyond saving) and took it to the metal recycler in the back of another Brat, one time. Nice EJ car, love it!

A stunning ride, sounds amazing and looks easy to throw around the track Good job sir!

[stevenhearnden]

I so want that Brat. Reminds me of Tamiya model as a kid.

[Turbovanilli]

Man that car is amazing and the more you watch it the more little things you notice that are just amazing about it. It has a lot of character.
For some reason I have seen that blow off valve type on other cars but it sounds so different on this car sounds really good.

[joshgotter]

The leone is actually the successer to the impreza, Thats why the wrx motor fits so well in the Brat.

[DoogieLabs]

I really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing!

I found a1979 Subaru Leone wagon, I wonder if It is candidate to have a WRX/STi Conversion. It would be bad ass that for sure.

[waynepower]

That is a work of art...I got to get one

[randallfrank]

The best part about this Brats was riding in the back seats and hanging on for dear life to the pistol grip handled bars because there were no seat belts back there. Ha, Ha, Ha!

[gazza]

nobody mentioned doing handbrake slides in the leones handbrake being oin the front brakes, it was different.

[woytowjn]

I've been looking for that air dam for at least a YEAR now! The things I'd do for it...
