love the 22b. Well out of my budget though.... what's your plans with it.

 

Use and abuse it whenever i get the time Weekend toy really..

 

had chance of a red mak few years ago. Was only 15k at the time with 30k mikes. I went for a 911 instead.. wrong choice lol

 

lol I think theres a fair few of us in the same boat with various cars over the years ! Hindsight eh ..

 

i turned down a 22b at 19.5k a while back

 

Oh no keep the mak

 

Nice tme,it was the only evo that persuaded me to get mine,lovely 22b .

 

I turned one down at 40k.




Only because I never had any intention of paying 40k for one.

I think if you have been a previous owner of a now collectors Impreza, 22b P1 etc, we as previous owners don't see where these prices are coming from. I certainly wouldn't pay the current asking prices that owners are asking. Probably because I've been there and done it when the prices were reasonable and the cars were used. But back then, we didn't know how the car market was going to go. As said, these cars are looked upon as investments now. Not weekend toys as they were back in the day when I had mine.

 

Well guys only right I keep yous updated.. have decided against this... came down to price in the end... I was maybe after too much of a deal.. anyway the search continues...

 

Thanks for the update. Sounded a nice example. Hope you don't regret your decision, but at the end of the day, the deal had to be right for both of you.
Good luck with your search.

 

Have you seen this P1 in the Friday topic ?
This P1 looks awesome.

Now this P1 I can believe is worth 20k. It's immaculate. It would be my number 1 choice if it was for sale without a doubt.

 

had mine P1 since 2003( I previouse owner /member on here ), spent over £60k on maintenance/mods, will never part with it !

 

How you doing Pal, how's the car looking, you'll have to get some recent pictures up of that beast

 

This is the one... I know Simon the owner as i worked with him for a couple of years over in Algeria. Top man, and im sure the car will be top as well.

 

So guys... Final answer is....Ive decided to buy the P1. Collect it next month. 😁😎

 

Great decision, that car has been very well cared for. Even more of a bonus if you already know the car and owner.
I'm sure you have bought the right car.

 

Enjoy the car and elgassi spent some time on the P1WOC at one time so the car is well known.

 

Yes, Hartlepool_Jono had asked me if he could get first refusal if I ever decide to sell
So after a bit of jiggling about we came to a figure we were both happy with & I've thrown in some nice spares as well, only cos I know ye lol

the car is going to a good home and I'm sure if he wants to sell he'll offer it back to me first

I've been thinking of selling since June last year, the car had become a permanent fixture in my garage, only seeing daylight for a snow foam, dry and polish
This year apart from a great run out in April with the Best Forum in Scotland, Scottish Scoobies, the car has been for petrol and done 6 miles in nearly 4 months

Three years of 100% reliability in this P1, unbelievable driving car and it's been a pleasure to work on the car and get it to where it sits now, plenty more to do though to get it up to concourse condition

Great car going to a good home











Not long after I'd bought the car




as it sits now

 

The new owner is a very lucky man credit to elgassi for keeping the P1 in pristine condition.

 

^thanks Scoobyabs, it was 3 years of pleasure

 

We could do with more Gentleman like you on Scoobynet, it would be a much nicer place.

 

Hi ...see yours is still going strong , just had the car back from Cotton.com in January with some more mods , still not 100% yet but getting close now .


after a wash from earlier in the week .

 

you have sold your P1 ??

 

Yes, It goes in a couple of weeks time, I wasn't using the car at all

Your P1 seems to look wider at the front end, must be the Morette's that give it that wider looking stance, you've done some great work on the car, keep on enjoying it, I'll maybe see it one day (2020 at 20th Anniversary meet in banbury lol)

 

Shame as yours look very well look after ...so what next ? ...one of the Ford's RS focus , that would be my bet on a sure fire investment , not one for the "meets" as I did not buy it for show

 

Ay men to that mate . What forums is all about!

 

Jon forgot to mention to his better half he was buying another car, didn't go down well, so he had to pull the plug

the car is still mine

open to sensible offers as always or it's going into long term storage

 

***** whipped

 

define intervention I say

value can only go ^^^

mine other half tells me to sell the P1 every year ....comes in one ear and out the other

 

Aye you could be right, maybe someone up there's on my side
