1997 Subaru Impreza Turbo
***NO RESERVE*** The subject of a recent respray and comes with a comprehensive history file
Registration - P364 YGG
Chassis No. - JF1GC8KD3VG020176
M.O.T. - February 2025
Odometer - 116,850
This Subaru Impreza Turbo is a genuine UK 2000 Turbo registered in 1997. The vendor has owned it since February 2023 and reports that it has lots of receipts that form part of the service history – along with the owner’s manual, service book and all MOTs. In their ownership, the car has benefitted from rebuilt rear arches and a full body repaint, which cost £3500. They say there is now 'no rust anywhere' on the car, and that the vehicle has been taken back to standard specification, apart from the upgraded exhaust system. The paintwork and bodywork are described as ‘excellent', as are the engine, transmission and electrics. Displaying 116,850 miles on the clock and just seven owners, this robust and reliable Subaru is an appreciating 1990s icon, which has been both recently serviced and comes with a MOT to February 2025. Estimated at £4000-£6000, it will be a compelling buy for anyone looking to recreate the excitement of a memorable period in Subaru’s history.
.
The Subaru Impreza 2000 Turbo was made famous by Colin McRae’s WRC exploits behind the wheel of a Prodrive-prepared rally car. The exuberant Scot helped put the car on the map – and the fact it delivered exceptional performance, engaging handling and superb reliability for a strikingly affordable price meant a waiting list soon built. Even today, it will feel fast and thrilling, with 0-60mph in a scant 6.4 seconds that’s aided by grippy all-wheel drive, and this car has the added bonus of being an all-original UK car, rather than a modified import. It is also resplendent in metallic green, a colour often used by many contemporary press cars.
In summary:
· Restored and rust-free bodywork
· Full body repaint
· Lots of receipts plus recent service and MOT
