A rare opportunity to own a genuine JDM Subaru Impreza WRX STI “Bugeye” in the most sought-after colour – white. These cars are becoming increasingly hard to find in unmodified, well-maintained condition, and this is a particularly honest, enthusiast-owned example.
I am a mature Subaru enthusiast (this being my second), and the car has always been treated with mechanical sympathy – carefully warmed up and cooled down, and never driven hard unnecessarily. It has primarily been enjoyed on weekend drives and trips to shows with the family.
Condition & History
- Imported to the UK in 2016 as a Grade 4 car (auction photos available)
- Never failed an MOT and has never had a single advisory
- Mechanically spot-on and meticulously maintained
- Cosmetically standard and true to factory appearance
- Dry ice blasted and professionally protected underside
As expected for a 25-year-old car, there are a few minor stone chips and age-related marks, but overall it presents extremely well and turns heads wherever it goes.
