SUMMARY
A WRX STi Version 5 from 1998, one of the last of the proper classic Subarus.
DESCRIPTION
- One of the last Classic Subaru STi models in the form of the version 5 from 1998 now becoming a very desirable and rare car
- Indicating 80,000km when it arrived here and has covered 40,000 miles since suggesting a total of just less than 90,000 miles
- Imported in 2009, it remains 100% original factory specification apart from a stainless steel exhaust system
- Despite the gentlemen's agreement of 280ps in Japan, it's fairly common for these models to exceed 300bhp in standard form
- Finished in rare Steel Blue Mica (86F), a refreshing change from all the special-edition blues
- Presented with an extensive history file, this is one Impreza not to be missed!
