I am having to sell my pride and joy, I have in my possession the P1. I am not talking about the Sonic Blue standard P1's, I am talking about the actual STi V5 type R used by Prodrive to develop the P1. Yes the actual prototype with the Prodrive mods and Mclaren bits.
The vehicle is in white, has covered less than 30k miles and has full Subaru service history. I have copies of the magazine articles featuring the vehicle, a copy of the original VRD confirming that Prodrive were the first owners and some of the Prodrive test schedules (unfortunately most of the stuff was returned to Subaru and consequently destroyed - believe me I've tried)
This is a chance to buy a real piece of motoring history.
I am taking offers in excess of £20,000.

Vehicle was picked up through a contact and, as far as I know, wasn't put up for sale then either so, in reality, it probably hasn't been on the market for about two years

Everyone,
Yes that is the one !!
However, this was before it was Mclarened, to be fair all they did was add some aerofoils to the spoiler and scoop but, apparently, this added an extra 5bhp at 100 mph - like you can tell.
The wheels were changed when it left Prodrive's possession to standard Prodrive wheels.
The spec is really difficult as, as I explained, most of the history has been destroyed and a lot of the stuff is prototype. I have just had the rear brake pads replaced and discovered that they were '03 brakes.
All I know is that it has a blue-printed engine which is virtually bombproof - it has no redline - not that I have tried and has the adjustable diff. It has standard OE suspension parts and, as far as I can establish is, to all intents and purposes a P1. However, persuading Subaru to release parts is a pain as they have to be told every time what it is so that they can check and release the P 1 bits. This has not been a cause for alarm- I have simply altered the front scoop to the standard P1 as the original one was only 2 inches off the floor and had a tendency to scrape going up my drive - so to preserve the bits for prosperity I changed it over and stored the original.
I am trying to get some good pics to show you but - it still looks like a standard - a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing ?
