Default 22b Colours

So according to Speed magazine Issue 8.

"Most of the 22b's were wrc blue, while there were a few white ones made and even a gunmetal grey"

Anyone else heard of this?

I'll scan in the article later.

I've always heard the 22B was exclusively WRC blue.....while the normal coupe came in WRC blue and white.

I've never heard of a stock standard white or grey 22B.
I can't imagine anything other than white truly doing justice to the lines of the car and the heritage that 22B's symbolise.

I could be wrong of course.

All 22B's are WRC Blue paint code 74F... They were never painted white!!

There was some 2 door World Rally Cars painted white for competition but thats as close as Subaru got with painting any wide body 2 doors white...

There was a Type R and RA 2 door that was painted white but it didn't have the wide arches but it had the 22B style front nostrils on the bonnet.

I believe the article is calling the 99 STi 2 door a 22B, as they were available in Blue, White , Grey and Yellow off the Subaru Floor but only available in Blue and White in Australia.
