Iconic rally-derived performance saloon in UK-only ‘Turbo 2000’ configuration
Just 34,263 miles showing on the odometer
Described by the seller as presenting in ‘time-warp condition’
Recent service carried out just 81 miles ago, which included renewing the timing belt and water pump
Number plate: W795OSO
The Appeal
The Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 was introduced as the UK-market counterpart to the iconic WRX, pairing its rally-bred all-wheel-drive chassis with a rorty turbocharged ‘boxer’ flat-four renowned for its unmistakable burble. Performance figures such as a 0-60mph time of 5.8 seconds remain brisk even by modern standards, but in the late 1990s they placed the Turbo 2000 firmly into contemporary M3 and NSX territory.
This example appears to have stood the test of time remarkably well, having reportedly been dry-stored by both the current and previous owners and driven sparingly from new. Recently serviced, including the prudent replacement of the timing belt, it is now ready to provide its next owner with the entertaining handling, all-weather capability and inimitable flat-four soundtrack for which these Imprezas have become so fondly remembered. image.png1.46 MB
