The Appeal
Born from Subaru's World Rally Championship programme, the combination of a turbocharged flat-four, symmetrical all-wheel drive and a slick five-speed manual gearbox made the Subaru Impreza Turbo an instant icon. In metallic blue over golden alloys, this is the definitive specification.
This example has had just two former registered keepers, with the previous owner keeping it from the year 2000 and dry stored. It comes with a service book bearing stamps and a collection of main dealer history and invoices. Over the past two years, the current owner has commissioned extensive mechanical and cosmetic work through Hurst Cars, a JDM and Subaru specialist, with a comprehensive list of items addressed in The Detail section below.
Described by the vendor as truly reliable and a joy to drive, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a well-documented, carefully maintained and largely original Impreza Turbo.image.png1.46 MB
