SUMMARY

A rare Impreza WRX-STi Type-UK from long term ownership, with thousands of pounds of upgrades and offered without Reserve.

DESCRIPTION

  • First registered in 2004, this WRX STi Type UK Impreza was purchased by our client’s late brother in 2007 with just two previous recorded keepers
  • It's finished in Mica Blue over upgraded Prodrive bucket seats with a red-stitched black steering wheel and sits on black 5-spoke alloy wheels
  • The engine was rebuilt in 2011 by API Impreza using an API Custom block, nitrided crank, 9,000rpm-rated steel rods, comp main bearings, Supertech pistons, Nimonic valves, double valve springs, titanium valve retainers, competition clutch and flywheel and much more (see Condition Report)
  • The build cost in the region of £7,000 and the Dyno print out indicates 442bhp at the wheels
  • Other modifications include a sports spoiler, uprated brakes, uprated seats etc.
  • Supplied with previous MOTs and invoices totalling over £17,000 during current ownership
  • Last MOT’d in 2022, the vehicle has not run since our vendor's brother's passing, so some recommissioning will be required before regular use
  • Consequently, it's being offered without Reserve and we would encourage your viewing at the Warwickshire Event Centre to appreciate the potential value
