I recently bought a 1999 registered Subaru Impreza, I plan to sort out the rust issue which it is plagued by then use it as a road and track car with roll cage STI upgraded parts and fit a turbo. it currently has a EJ20ENW6FA engine cupped with a TY752VRCAA 5 speed transmission. The reason I am actually making this post for is the history of my car. it fashions a gold Subaru livery as well as on the exterior three badges with "SAN REMO" and one gold badge in the cab with "LIMITED EDITION No. 3 SAN REMO" I will attach some pictures. now when researching about SAN REMO limited edition Subarus i can’t for the life of me find anything about them, there must be a 1 and 2 as i have no 3 or does the SAN REMO limited edition Subaru not exist, was someone back in the day trying to stick out and be different i just do not know? any help would be appreciated if its something worth restoring and keeping stock as it currently has zero mechanical modifications i will keep it that way, if not it will be modified!

 

The same person who put a Corona beer sticker on the rear wing, maybe?

 

Looking at the rear wheel arch rust, the suspension turrets will most likely be in the same condition.
Although UK registered on a T plate (Mar-Aug 1999) the W in the VIN shows it to be a Model Year (MY) 1998 and built between the beginning of February 1997 and the end of July 1998 .

 

Ah Reddish Blue 65C my favourite Impreza colour.

Unfortunately bud its just a standard base model thats had load of turbo parts stuck on.

Would have looked something like this.

 

This is world of been your original bumper. Looks same colour aswell.
