Description
One of the final GC8 models produced, this Version 6 STi Type R is a one owner car in Japan, and has covered a total of 36, 000 miles (58, 000 km).
This final Version 6 Impreza was a significant uplift from the Version 5, with a more aggressive engine set up and a stronger turbo. This gave the 6 a ridiculous redline of nearly 8, 000rpm. Other differences included a passenger airbag with further tweaks to the suspension, engine mapping, brakes and body styling.
Like our other cars, this was a high grade vehicle, which has a very solid body and underside and has not been played with. The paintwork is okay, however it has had some previous paint, that you would have hoped was better. That said, it has cleaned up superbly and looks lovely. This is a rare colour, known as Mica Blue metallic, which we believe was only available on the final edition Version 6 models.
Supplied with all the import papers and a full book-pack that has a huge amount of service history, for those with the patience to go through it. The car will receive a new cambelt, with upgraded pulleys and a water pump from Roger Clark Motorsport, a full service including diff oil replacement, new tyres all-round and anything else we find upon inspection.
The last of the line GC8's will always be in demand, and will have improved residual values later down the line.
Supplied with a 6-month national warranty from Autoguard. Finance can be provided by our independent broker, Chatsbrook Finance.
