SUMMARY

Simply entitled the Impreza Turbo 2000, relatively light in terms of Impreza nomenclature, this UK-supplied, low-mileage example from long-term ownership is offered without reserve.

DESCRIPTION

First registered in 1998, this UK-supplied car has been in current ownership since 2004, with its second and fourth owner being the same person
Finished in Bright Red over a black cloth-trimmed cabin, with light grey seat inserts, it sits on 16" 5-spoke alloy wheels
Equipment includes electric windows and mirrors, a radio-cassette player, and a 4-spoke MOMO steering wheel
Powered by a turbocharged 2-litre flat-four, producing a dyno-proven 214bhp and 243lb/ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and offering 0-60 in 6.1 seconds and 144mph when new
Loved and enjoyed for many years by its current keeper, the vehicle has been off the road for a couple of years, though still running and driving
Supplied with original handbooks, stamped service book, folder including old tax discs and previous MOTs, invoices and receipts
Given its lack of use in recent years, it would benefit from a service prior to extended use. Once carried out, this modern classic performance hero looks like a great find
