The Appeal
The GC8-generation Impreza WRX STi needs little introduction. Born from Subaru's World Rally Championship programme, it remains one of the most respected performance cars of the 1990s, and the Version 6, the final iteration of the GC8 platform, is widely regarded as the most refined of the line. Powered by the ‘EJ207’ turbocharged flat-four producing 276hp and driving all four wheels through a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox, it delivers a driving experience that few modern performance cars can replicate.
This Pure White example has been the subject of considerable recent investment, with over £6,500 documented across invoices from two specialists. Roger Clark Motorsport supplied and fitted key engine service items earlier this year, while Fairmont Sports and Classics carried out an extensive programme of bodywork, braking, suspension, and cosmetic work in late 2025. The interior has also been attended to,
For enthusiasts seeking a limited-edition Version 6 with documented recent expenditure from reputable specialists, this example warrants serious attention.
