**** It appears R & C Automotive in Wollongong no longer work on the old cars, so even though I’ve recommended them and they are very good and fair, please don’t bother contacting them; they’re just too flat chat busy. I’ll try to cut the recommendation from the video in the coming weeks. ****

As we have one of each of the 3 generations of the Subaru Brumby, we thought it'd be good to show them side-by-side. I don't go into too much detail; it's more of a "look-see." It's about Australian delivered Brumbys, not BRATs. For example, the BRAT had a much earlier introduction of the quad light look - years earlier. The BRAT had a body side-step to get into the back tray, and for a time, had rear facing seats bolted directly to the tray. Let's just say there were quite a few subtle differences, including the look of the dash.

Most Youtube channels want you to subscribe, but as I upload so infrequently and don't stick to any one topic, it's probably not worth your while to be honest. I don't have the funds to buy or store more cars, so I'm going quiet for a good while.

I haven't seen another video which captures the three series of the Brumby (known elsewhere as the BRAT, MV, Shifter, Taga & 284) side-by-side, so I hope this is at least interesting for you. Thanks for watching.

**** Corrections **** Our MX5 (Eunos Roadster) is probably the oldest one in Australia. That makes it a 1.6 litre, not a 1.8 litre. Still a fun car to drive, even if it's not "fast."

Our first generation Brumby was manufactured in February 1981, not October. The 1.8 litre EA81 engine came out in October 1980, not October 1981. This is when the dual transfer case was also added.

I've been told the Taga model came out with the quad light look before the general move to that shape. See comments section.
