2009 Subaru

SUNRISE YELLOW (C2Z) – JUST 29,797KM (18,516 MILES) – JAPANESE AUCTION GRADE 5/A!

HJA are delighted to offer this exceptional 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C, finished in the rare factory Sunrise Yellow (C2Z).

For collectors looking for a truly exceptional GRB Spec C, this is exactly the sort of example that rarely comes to market. With just 29,797km (18,516 miles) from new, an outstanding Japanese Auction Grade 5/A and finished in Sunrise Yellow (C2Z), a colour believed to have been produced in only around 100 examples, it ticks all the right boxes. Finding one with this combination of low mileage, rarity and remarkable originality is becoming increasingly difficult.

The exterior and interior are immaculate, and the engine bay, underside, and suspension components are just as impressive. Cars preserved to this standard are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

[RARE SUNRISE YELLOW SPEC C]

The 2009 GRB Spec C was developed with a greater focus on performance and handling than the standard WRX STI.

Subaru produced a limited run of 900 examples in the 18-inch specification, with Sunrise Yellow available for only a short period. Approximately 100 examples are believed to have been finished in this colour.

The Spec C benefits from several factory upgrades, including a ball-bearing twin-scroll turbocharger, revised suspension, chassis strengthening, a mechanical rear limited-slip differential and weight-saving measures.

This example also features the desirable factory optional RECARO sports seats, finished in black Alcantara and leather with red stitching.
