2003 - MY03 Subaru Impreza WRX "Top UK Show Car" **SOLD**
****************Now SOLD*********************
Model: Subaru Impreza WRX - UK model
Year: March 2003 – 03 reg.
Mileage: Approx 23,000miles
Service History: Full Subaru Service History – Triangle Chesterfield & St Ledger Doncaster.
M.O.T: 04/09
Tax: 09/08
I have my MY03 WRX Show Car for sale. Having owned her for almost 4 years, it’s time for me to progress onto a new project.
History:
I purchased the car from a main dealer – Triangle of Chesterfield in Oct 04. The car was approx 18month’s old when I bought it and had 14.5k miles on the clock. It was in immaculate condition (Something that was a priority) with no stone chips, dints or scratches. The previous owner who was known by the dealer kept the car in pristine condition.
Took ownership of the car on October ’04 and after a week or 2 progressed with the Show car project which was then unveiled at the Fast Show @ Santa Pod in March 05.
In the winter of ‘05 phase 2 of the project came about where the engine bay was transformed with lots of shiny bits, plus a nice new Perrin Front Mount Intercooler. (The first in the UK). I’ve spent in total close to £15k on modifications.
The car has never willing been driven in the rain, only on attendance to shows. And is garaged constantly.
Regulary cleaned and waxed (I’ve just given it a quick machine polish ready for the ISTS in April) and the paintwork is as flawless as you’ll find anywhere.
This car is possibly one of the best Subaru Impreza show cars in the UK.
It’s one of the most successful winning Japanese Show Car in the UK with almost 30 trophy wins to it’s name.
The most prestigious being runner up in the Modified & Performance category of Autoglyms National UK concours competition Oct 2007.
I’m very proud to have owned and developed the car to it’s current standard. I’m sure it has spawned many a modified Impreza and has encourage many Impreza enthusiasts to show and keep clean their car.
The pictures don’t do the car justice and is almost 90% concours standard. I have put a lot of time into the car especially the back end of last year, where I replaced many suspension bolts and componets for new for the Autoglym concours comp.

Pretty poor time to be selling I guess 
Asking Price now: £15,000 o.n.o (For quickish sale, open to offers)
Don't want to have to split the car up

Appreciate the market is saturated and prices are at crazy levels, but this is one of the best Impreza's in the UK.
For a quick sale offers around the £12,500 mark will secure this car. (Bargin!!!)
