Subaru Impreza STi-5 Type-R

[Spencer]

For Sale....

 

...the fastest factory built Impreza that Subaru have ever made. Lighter than a 22B and with the same "gentlemans agreement" limit on bhp. Lighter (by approx 100kgs) than the current Impreza models....This is the model that Prodrive then took to derive the P1 UK model, although the P1 is slightly less focussed, and *slightly* down on bhp. The P1 also doesn't have some of the features of the Type-R, such as DCCD, Elec folding mirrors (plus Intercooler spray and Climate Control, I think)

Hi,

Replying on behalf of a friend who's had an Sti-4 but sold last year to buy a motorbike, but now back on the market for another scoob.

 

Would you be interested in a p/x for a quick but cheaper tin-top ?

What history has your Sti got ? jap history or was it imported new into uk ?

 

You can either email me : JamesSaunders@btinternet.com or my friend in question, Nigelgre@aol.com

 

Regards

James
