Description
Cracking well maintained Impreza; showing only 68,000 miles with 7
recorded previous keepers; desirable registration number
included
The Subaru Impreza Turbo needs little introduction.
Combining rally-bred engineering with everyday usability, the first-generation
Impreza established itself as one of the defining performance cars of the 1990s,
with its turbocharged flat-four engine, permanent all-wheel drive and
unmistakable styling earning it an enthusiastic following that continues to grow
today.
This particularly appealing example has covered just 68,000 miles
from new and has had seven previous keepers. Finished in the iconic Subaru blue,
it presents as an honest, well-cared-for car and is accompanied by a desirable
registration number, R500 AWE, which is included in the sale.
The history
file is a real highlight, containing a substantial collection of invoices, MOT
certificates and servicing records documenting the car's life. A printed summary
traces its history from 2001 when it had covered around 22,000 miles, right
through to its most recent MOT in July this year at just over 68,000 miles,
providing excellent continuity of maintenance and mileage.
Mechanically,
the Impreza has clearly benefited from conscientious ownership. The cambelt has
been replaced on four occasions, in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2009, while the gearbox
was professionally reconditioned in 2015, at which time a new radiator was also
fitted.
Significantly, much of this maintenance has been entrusted to
Wilsons Subaru, one of the UK's best-known Subaru specialists, giving added
confidence in the quality of the work carried out.
The car starts, runs
and drives, reflecting the care it has received throughout its life. With low
mileage, an extensive maintenance history and sensible ownership, it represents
an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an unspoilt classic Impreza Turbo.
As values of original, well-maintained examples continue to strengthen, this is
a car that will appeal equally to collectors, enthusiasts and anyone seeking one
of the finest all-weather performance cars of its era.
