The first handover of a Subaru BRZ sports car in the UK has been completed by Essex dealership Woodford Motor Company.

The dealership, in Woodford Green, presented the car to customer Ed Horner of Wanstead on Tuesday.

Stephen Barnard, dealer principal, said: "Interest in the BRZ ahead of its on-sale date has been phenomenal, both from Subaru and non-Subaru owners.

"Ed Horner bought a Legacy Tourer from us in 2010, and we’re over the moon that he has chosen to add to his Subaru collection with the brand’s latest model."
