The Americans can get them in under the show and display (or something?) rule as a rare car already (same as a midnight purple 2 R34 GTR)
One problem with the yanks buying them is they sell in Japan now for a lot of money, people see that here and then they fly up because we can no longer import them for decent money. Trouble is I don’t see them selling that well here for big money? It’s like we can’t buy them at source so they’re now worth loads more but nobody here wants to pay it.
Mind you, that seems the same for a lot of the Jap stuff the yanks are crazy for. Expensive in Japan now means the UK market thinks it can sustain big prices but I just see the same big money imprezas/evos/GTR’s/RX7’s relisted for sale over and over again.
I’d actually think the US buyer would be better off buying from the U.K. as they’d probably be more likely to get a deal than Japan.
Even the old Pulsar GTI-r is crazy money in Japan now because the Americans buy them.

Is it the same one from earlier this year?
the seller was in one of the Subaru groups on facebook saying he had offers of £250-260k months ago so cant believe he didnt sell then. Guess this is the new owner tying to make a quick buck?
It's at Appreciating Classics. There's one going through the auctions tonight. Number 200, 31k miles, grade 4B. Expected to fetch 15m yen/£109k?the seller was in one of the Subaru groups on facebook saying he had offers of £250-260k months ago so cant believe he didnt sell then.

Looks fairly tidy and mods look well done, though API don’t have the best reputation anymore.
But it is heavily modified. If I was wanging £100k on a 22B I’d want it to be a 22B to drive. And with significant engine mods and not standard suspension or brakes (though upgraded brakes I’m ok with) it’s not likely to feel like a 22B so I’m out
