I happened to be waiting to collect passengers and spotted these. There appeared to be 4 of them. They were taking part in some type of dealer launch. They were all left hand drive.
They were all registered in the State of Illinois, USA. Not sure they were keen for me to take pics but needs must !

I think they were doing something locally as the were installing tomtoms and also putting bottles of water inside. Also, one of the guys in a subaru jacket had a load of high viz cardboard arrows that he was carrying. May be to set out a course for the day?
I though maybe they were doing an extended test drive/launch day for customers?
I was hoping they were a little more rare than they appear to be after looking on the Subaru UK website.

Very rare

No more than 100 this year

Subaru of America use isle of Man for promo / media stuff typically with US registered cars

Check out YouTube.

Ye that would make sense - driving to Liverpool then over to the IOM on the boat.
