SUMMARY
A fine example of the car that changed the motoring public's perception of affordable performance, excellent history and well maintained with documented mileage.
DESCRIPTION
- The very last year of the classic style Impreza (GC8) that we all came to know and love through the exploits of legends such as Carlos Sainz Snr, Richard Burns and Colin McRae
- Powered by a turbocharged 2-litre flat-four, producing 214bhp and 243lb/ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and offering 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and 144mph when new
- The example we see here presents beautifully, its Deep Blue paintwork showing superbly and the silver wheels appear free from curbing. The Scooby’s interior remains fresh and gives the impression that this Impreza is far younger than its 25 years would suggest
- Comprehensive main dealer history - regular servicing carried out by Wilsons Subaru and later Woodford Subaru from 2001 to 2013, covering all major intervals including cambelt replacements (2003, 2005, 2009), brake upgrades, new airflow sensors, ARB bushes and batteries.
- Well maintained with documented mileage - consistent MOT passes and maintenance logged from 14,185 miles in 2001 to 61,591 miles in 2013, with clear documentation of key repairs and a keeper change noted in 2013
