My second post on this thread in five years.....

I have one of the rarest Imprezas in the United Kingdom now. It is a completely original one Jap and one British owner 1996 C-Series GF8 SportsWagon. It has covered 70,000 miles, never registered in the UK, although maintained correctly (cambelt and oil last year at a local specialist) and absolutely everything is as FHI intended, down to the air filter element and the pea shooter exhaust.

I wonder whether there is even one other car like this in the country?

Also: Tony is right about early WRX Type-RAs - they were available in Feather White and Vivian Red and then Feather White and Active Red until the 1997 model year when red was dropped.

Agh right perhaps it was the £42k price tag am thinking of. I remember being 13 when the 22B come out and I dreamed of owning one. It's one car I've never had funny enough that and a P1.

Very nice mate! Can't beat genuine v1 sti's and really are getting quite rare, a good condition STD v1 sti is a rare car in my opinion..

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the email re the 1995 Prodrive Edition,this was all a bit of a smoke and mirrors case,there were actually 27 cars produced in 1994-95 based on the pre-facelift car(TD turbo'd car with the smaller angled intercooler)these cars were purchased as standard cars from the dealership then transported down to Prodrive for kitting out,all parts of the 'edition' were available individually,but when purchased in whole the cars were plaqued & numbered just on front of the gearstick on the dashboard.Early cars had the year of conversion first(94XXXX,95XXXX)

Available options were as follows,Performance upgrade reputed to have 240hp,recaro fishnet interior(as fitted to the later Mcrae edition)Bilstein susp.,carbon or wood trim,ramair filter and stainless cat back exhaust with prodrive branding,high level rear spoiler,momo gearknob and a choice of 16'' or 17'' alloys by Speedline(gold or silver finish)(safaris,chrono's or allesio's)PIAA front driving lights with covers.

This continued into 96,97 and 98,with cars being delivered to the dealership then transported back down to Banbury to be fettled.Latterly you could fit 4 different options from the 'WR' range,these were interior package,performance package,styling package and handling package.These could be chosen individually or when taken as a whole,the vehicles were branded as 'WR Sport' cars.

I myself had both a 96 and 98 car both fully spec'd.Hope the above answers your email enquiry.

Regards

Gavin

Subaru Impreza Cabriolet Operetta.



Fortunately only one of these was ever made and was used as a show car at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show.
It's got to be somewhere now though so is surely the rarest Impreza.

Or this.....




Subaru Impreza STI Electra One, another one off. The S201 was based around this car but did without the headlamps, roof vent and rear spoiler was slightly toned down.

I never even knew about this.

Yep, it was the start point for the S201. Only one was built and no idea where it resides now. Was based on a STI RA V6 as was the S201.
That and the cab above are the rarest Imprezas ever though without doubt.
