hi people im new to the site and was just wondering how rare my 94 uk impreza was. I spoke to someone and they said that it was pretty unusual to come across a 94 uk turbo anymore. more info would be great, cheers!

 

whats your applied model number on the plate on the passenger strut top under the bonnet?

 

Gc8bk8d

 

That's a MY94.

No idea how rare they are though.

 

I
The only reason I asked is I rang a company who deals with impreza sand they said it was rare to find a 94uk anymore, just wondered if anyone had some more info? Or if anyone else has 1? Cheers

 

They basically mean the've all either rusted away, been stripped for parts etc, in other words there not a rare car when made like Impreza P1 etc eg not limited number made.

But of that year there will be alot less on the road, same with any car of that age

 

Yea that's what I was getting at, was just wondering how many were still actually about on the road. Cheers

 

Doubt it's a UK car, AFAIK they weren't imported officially then?

 

The model code given is a UK code.

 

New one on me, I thought OFFICIAL imports began in 1995.

 

Is there Japanese writing on the underside of the sun visor?

 

I read somewhere that they were coming in here from circa 93/94. I'll see if I can find the page, bookmarked on my PC at home hopefully.

 

Yeah they were coming in from 93.

 

According to how many are left, the 2000 turbo uk models were registered in 1996

I'll check tomorrow as the car is at my garage

 

And if you are really lucky its maybe 1 of the 25 prodrive specials made that year.

there would be a plaque on it identifying it

bit more on 94 prodrive in here

That's the wrong model name for 94-96. The one you're looking for is this one:

So the 94-96 pre-facelift UK cars maxed out at 2,200 (i.e. only about 2,200 were ever made) in '96. Latest info shows that in Jul-Sept last year there were 365 of these taxed and 317 on SORN. Its possible some of these are imports registered as "Impreza Turbo", so the true UK models are likely to be even less in number than that.

Bottom line - yes, the '94 UK cars are extremely rare beasts now, as they were never common in the first place.

 

I thought i'd done something wrong, so could be alot less than 682, more like 400. Thats pretty rare

 

Doubt very much it's a prodrive with the interior that came in it lol. It has all grey interior inc seats an door cards. Seats look like they came out of a micra, haha. I'm gradually changing it all over to black inc carpet
