Dealer Accessories: Tracker, STi front and rear mud flaps, carbon fibre rear wing, STi floor mats, boot liner kit (not fastened).

EXTERIOR
The WRX STi Spec C styling is subtly different but still an instantly recognisable rally legend finished in iconic World Rally Blue Mica, (Code 02C). Keen Impreza fans may spot unique Spec C features such as the roof vent, absence of side sills and front spoilers but only the knowledgeable will appreciate the lightweight factory panels fitted to save a total of 90kg. Fewer still will understand the efforts made to this homologation special improving chassis performance and body rigidity. A stunning gleaming shine is evidenced throughout thanks to a low 15,298 miles and temperature controlled storage. The large bonnet scoop and expensive optional rear carbon boot spoiler offer visually striking features but importantly are designed to improve performance and downforce. The aluminium bonnet and front bumper have a few stone chips. With a total production of just 173 Blue Spec C Limited Editions, (Source: type-ra.com), this prime example is worthy of continued preservation.

INTERIOR
The removal of many luxury features on the rare Spec C models was key to the weight saving measures, the Limited adds a few back such as electric windows with thinner glass and manual air conditioning. The focus of this rally-honed interior is purely on a thrilling drive and a radio, sun visor mirrors, rear wiper or even remote boot release are replaced with a far more exciting Driver Controlled Centre Differential DCCD and auto water spray buttons! The cockpit is finished in immaculate non-slip Black suede effect interior, (Code B20). The bucket seats with the distinctive STi motif have no visible wear along with the leather gear knob and handbrake lever with red stitching and STi branded leather Momo steering wheel, also with red stitching. Pristine Spec C lightweight carpets are protected with STi carpet mats and all unique trim, materials and head lining is unmarked. Factory standard in all respects, all control and gauges function correctly. Lifting the boot lid reveals a sparse trunk area with unfastened side panelling and boot carpet fitted as an accessory as it was not included in Spec C examples. Also in the boot is the large 12L STi water tank to spray the intercooler on long performance runs and also to aid weight distribution rather than a smaller tank being located under the bonnet. The original space saver spare wheel and Subaru tool pouch is present.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The jewel in the crown in this Subaru is the Horizontally-Opposed EJ207 2.0 litre turbocharged engine. With a raft of factory fitted upgrades including a VF36 ball bearing titanium twin scroll turbocharger and semi-closed deck engine, this unit produces a stated 280PS. The reality is more like 300PS but due to Japan’s car industry having a Gentleman’s Agreement or jishu-kisei on power outputs, this was never documented in literature. Opening the lightweight aluminium bonnet reveals the STI branded turbo intercooler in a very clean engine bay with all factory plates, label and stickers intact and Subaru stampings to the inner wings. The short-throw 6-speed gearbox is sweet moving up and down the gears with precision making the most of the free-revving Subaru Boxer engine.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Unique and gorgeous lightweight forged 17×7.5” Gold BBS alloy wheels are in superb order other a few very light markings barely detectable. Shod in recommended GoodYear Eagle F1 225/45 ZR17 soft compound tyres with ample tread. Huge Brembo calipers with advanced 4-sensor/4channel Super Sports Anti-lock braking system shine brightly in orange with perfect red Brembo script leaving no doubt to the immense stopping power enjoyed by an enthusiastic rally star!

HISTORY FILE

Just three former keepers from new, the last since 2009 this prime example has been cherished with a box file of paperwork to substantiate and warrant the low 15,298 miles covered. All original handbooks and a fully stamped service book are present including all service invoices and documented cambelt changes. Handbooks and collectable brochures are included in both Japanese and English and two keys with remotes are present. Being masters in World Rally Championship competitions, why not experience the thrill in surely one of the best!?

MODEL HISTORY
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C is a limited-edition homologation special which nearly did not exist. When Subaru pulled out of its 20-year involvement in the World Rally Championships after a massive fall in sales worldwide it had to rethink its motorsport programme. Fortunately this rare addition to the WRX STI line-up went on sale through dealerships in Japan only as proof it had not forgotten who it was and what it excelled at. The 2.5-litre engine was dumped for the revvier, feistier EJ20 2.0-litre and a massive overhaul with new diffs, dampers, springs and bars, plus there was a drop in kerbweight of 30kg. With iconic models such as the 22B, (400 units made), RB5, (444 units made), P1, (1000 units made), this limited edition Spec C with only 900 units made, (circa 100 in Sunrise Yellow), is destined for a bright future.

Gleaming gold callipers all round with STI inscription are a distinguishing feature of Spec C and the power of this awesome road going rally car is easily harnessed.

HISTORY FILE
Hailed as a significantly tweaked brother to the Impreza WRX STI, the Spec C was limited to just 900 units for the Japanese market only. Personally sourced by Paul Finch from Finch Motorsport Subaru Engine Specialists for his personal collection, this 2009 example was brought into the UK in 2018 with all UK import duties, SVA/IVA certification and UK registered completed. The Japanese Auction Car Condition Grade was an impressive 4.5.

Production was upped to 333 cars from the 200 cars made for each of its two predecessors with no number 13 owing to Italian propensity for superstition.

Easy to understand why it achieved a JD Power gold award in 1997, the first generation Impreza is an extremely capable and sure footed modern classic and this example is without question one of the best of the survivors.

Subaru Impreza P1

SORRY NOW SOLD – SIMILAR WANTED

The ultimate highly collectable Subaru Impreza P1 with only 4,786 miles.

MODEL HISTORY
The Subaru Impreza P1 was a car that was designed for UK tarmac to be as close to the WRC rally car than ever before.  A collaboration of Subaru UK, Prodrive, Subaru Japan and Subaru Tecnica International, (STI).  Prodrive—the outfit responsible for race-prepping Subaru’s championship winning rally cars—was brought in to specially develop said cars, of which only 1,000 were built, all in Sonic Blue.  Costing £31,495 when new and an instant hit, Richard Burns the British rally driver who won the 2001 World Rally Championship, is quoted in the sales brochure as saying, ‘…weight and feel is better even than the RB5…straight line as quick as a rally car… turn in is sharper, but there’s no hint of twitchiness’. A very important piece of Subaru history and UK Special Editions.

EQUIPMENT
Bonnet scoop, 90mm Hella H4 driving lamps, colour-keyed mirrors, door handles and side skirts, unique rear spoiler, Momo steering wheel, air conditioning, quick shift, twin airbags, RAC Trackstar, electric windows and mirrors, power steering, adjustable steering wheel, rear wiper, internal boot and fuel release, Quartz digital clock, Clarion DRX6575Rz CD player.

EXTERIOR
The striking Sonic Blue paintwork gleams from pampered indoor storage and limited exposure to the elements thanks to just 4,786 miles being covered.  From the McLaren F1 to the Subaru WRC car the Peter Stevens design credentials are timeless, purposeful and an instant hit from all angles.  The P1 runs on 20mm lower than standard Turbos on Eibach springs and STI dampers and this example is factory correct in every respect.  The P1 driving lamp covers supplied when new remain unused and the supplying dealer window sticker is attached.  All apertures are spotlessly clean and the underside is a purists dream having never been stripped, cleaned and refurbished.  One for the fastidious perfectionist.

INTERIOR
As close to factory fresh as feasibly possible some 18 years after rolling off the production line.  Wing-backed Prodrive branded sports bucket seats show no wear and the only owner from new paid extra for Prodrive carpet mats and boot liner along with the Subaru rubber mats!  The red stitching on the Momo steering wheel and gear knob is vivid and the optional upgraded Clarion CD player along with all other controls function correctly.  The glass has all stickers attached.  Quite possibly the ultimate P1.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Phenomenal.  Creating 280bhp, (some 69bhp more than a standard Impreza Turbo) a hard-edged exhaust note combined with a whistle of turbo is intoxicatingly addictive.  0-60mph is dispatched in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 155mph is quoted in a car weighing just 1,275kg.  The engine bay is standard and very clean with the numbered plaque proudly displaying 0065. The quick shift short throw gear change maximises full use of the power.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Gorgeous titanium effect 17” Prodrive O.Z. alloys as used on the year 2000 World Rally Cars are unmarked and still shod in the factory Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico 205/45 ZR17 tyres.  Powerful disc brakes all-round with ABS stop the car quickly.

HISTORY FILE
