Subaru donates towcar to Richard Burns Foundation

Subaru continues to support The Richard Burns Foundation and chose the recent ‘Goodwood Festival Of Speed’ to donate a special tow vehicle.

The Isuzu Rodeo pickup will be used to tow the cancer charity’s exhibition unit to various motorsport events.

World Rally Champion, Richard Burns, helped put Subaru on the WRC map but died in November 2005 of brain cancer at the age of 34.

Earlier this year, Subaru launched a special-edition Impreza RB320, with all 320 cars being quickly ordered by eager enthusiasts.

One of those cars was given to Richard’s father, Alex, who is an energetic fundraiser for the charity which raises resources and awareness for projects that help people of all ages fight against their adversity.

And at the ‘Goodwood Festival Of Speed’ the RB320 was bought by an anonymous bidder, reaching a full £10,000 above its £30,000 list price.

The car features guest signatures from famous drivers such as Jackie Stewart, Colin McCrae and Petter Solberg.
