Description
Subaru Impreza STI Type R version 4.
1997, R reg.
MOT until end of June 2026.
69,500miles (111,940km)
Japanese import and I’m the first owner in the UK. Due to other cars and commitments I’ve sadly hardly driven this car since import – a few hundred miles since 2016. It’s been dry stored and run up occasionally, and with a little more tidying up would be spot on and now highly collectable.
Bodywork is generally clean with little corrosion – good considering 28 years old. Being critical the paint lacquer has suffered in some areas during storage on the boot and roof, but it is solid and very clean underneath.
Recently went through an MOT and was great to drive on the road again. So involving to drive after more modern stuff. The three door Impreza looks great and is stiff and very light – truly now a classic and rare.
For the MOT and as part of getting it back to road standard I asked the service team to run through the car front to back. This meant new cambelt, oil and filters, new fuel pump and fuel lines (fuel tank was dropped out to clean it all up and fix rough running after being sat).
From here four new tyres and a little tidying would be good, but I felt best to let the new owner choose what tyres they like and I want to present the car honestly as it is, so have not been busy dressing the car up. Current tyres have tread but are old so will need replacing.
Cusco coilovers. stainless Jap market (5Zigen) catback exhaust – have original, but cats in place and not noisy and passed Mot.
Gearbox, clutch all good and drives well. Car is under sorn and in storage and not currently being used on the road.
Getting rare now and the values of these cars are climbing, so no low offers please. But of course I am leaving some space for a little tidying and fitting some decent tyres.
