The service history is amazing, the first owner did an excellent job of documenting everything, as did the 2nd owner. It was serviced by Subaru up until my ownership in 2016, whereby I've taken on the routine servicing according to the factory schedule in my own workshop. All modifications well documented, with multiple dyno runs in the folder. TDR carried out the cambelt service in November '23. RM Performance inspected and serviced in October '23 - new plugs and healthy compression. Will be serviced again before handover. I've always run it on Tesco Momentum and V-Power (it won't run 95) and get between 20-28mpg.

Bodywork is in very good condition, with only a small dent in the leading edge of the bonnet. A small bubbling patch above the windscreen, presumably resulting from a windscreen replacement before my ownership, is the only thing needing attention.

Head-over-heart sale!
