1999 Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 Estate

Remarks

This is a 1998 model year 4 wheel drive Impreza Turbo which marked what would be the last of the classic look Impreza Turbos. The car was supplied by Showells Garage and registered on 13th January 1999 and came with a number of additional extras in addition to the, at the time, extensive standard features of the range topping Impreza. The extras noted on this car are the chrome luggage guard on the rear bumper, an ice warning sensor, air conditioning and notably a full leather grey interior. The original Showells floormats and original numberplates are also still present on the vehicle, as are the often replaced orange side indicators and the dual orange faux vents in the front bumper. The car runs great and (almost*) everything is in working order which includes the 4 electric widows, the very efficient air conditioning, the original fit Subaru cassette/radio and the 2 supplied keys and fobs for central locking/immobiliser. the clearcoat to the offside front wing is now starting to show its age where a parking dent was repaired some years ago, although the panel is still the original. It would benefit from some attention for a fastidious new owner. There is also a small area of clearcoat peeling by the drivers door handle. Overall these are some small blemishes to the paintwork around the bonnet vents and some pitting to the black side mirror trim. The rest of the body work is good and there are no parking dings and the bumpers are good although there is a parking scuff to the offside front corner.

Remarks

The leather interiors were installed after the vehicles arrived in the UK and the original request from Subaru UK to the installers is included in the paperwork. The interior is in good condtion for the age and mileage and there is some scuffing to the the drivers seat bolster but it is not worn through.

Remarks

The wheels were refurbished a few years ago and remain in great overall condition.

Remarks

*Unfortunately the LED digital clock does not work!

Remarks

The car has done 62,879 and remains in its original factory spec with no upgrades or changes to the original specification, which is a rarity for an Impreza. Most of the classic era Impreza Turbos's have been modified over the years and it is rare to find an original spec car. This vehicle comes with a stack of past receipts showing its history throughout the current ownership including service receipts up to 2023 although it has seen little use in the interim period. The thrilling and addictive drive of a late 90's turbocharged 4 wheel drive Subaru Impreza is a rare experience even now. That it became an icon that dominated the World Rally Championship is a testament to the quality of the car that Subaru created. there are some other interesting pieces of paperwork with the vehicle including the loading docket from Japan, the shippers location card and the unopened dealer only Thatcham Security Certificate. All the service books and manuals are complete and reside in the original Subaru document pouch along with the complete original toolkit. This practical 5 door hatch offers a great opportunity to get an unmolested original spec Impreza that can be enjoyed as is or with some attention bring it back to its factory original finish.
