Barnfind Unicorn 80s Turbo AWD Coupe Survivor – Parked 30 years ago. Will it Run? In this special barn find episode Jonny Smith discovers a deceased estate where a 1985 Japanese AWD Turbo coupe (thought to be 1 of 3 left in the UK) has been left under a carport and not used since the early 1990s. 44,000 miles and supplied from the main dealer that resides less than a mile up the road. Can Jonny get this quirky Subaru to run?
