This Car really is fantastic and goes like a Fighter-jet, she's not been on a rolling roadbut the mod's should see her in the 330- 340 BHP mark, definately at least 320. THIS CAR IS QUICK!The first to see will definitely buy! The interior has been recently valeted & scotch-guarded. Always run on Optimax, it has been serviced religiously every 5000 miles using Castrol RS 10W60 and genuine parts. Loads of receipts. Cambelt done at 62,000 and AP Organic clutch + STI release bearing fitted at 74,000.

NEVER Dragged, trackday'd or raced, and allways warmed/ cooled properly.

It really would be hard to find a better example. The only downsides worth a mention are a couple of small car park dinks along the flanks, the front splitter is a bit stone- chipped and the 2 nearside Alloys have some light scraping (The front caused by a rubbish tyre fitter. grrrr! ). Also, the multi- changer in the boot looks a bit battered, but it works faultlessly, and the centre console panel in the passenger footwell has some minor scratches.

So come and do yourself a favour, and buy one of the best classic shape Impreza’s you will find anywhere. Just try not to smile too broadly as I watch you drive off in it with tears in my eyes!!
