Schucks, imprezive, so are they all still being raced or are some kept as collectors items?
Are they being sold at a reasonable price?

they are all competing still, www.crspics.com have some nice shots... most ex WRC cars are resold as competitive vehicles, Prodrive have a long succesful history in Irish Rallying with most of our top drivers using imprezas... an irish driver also had the top placed Subaru in this years Monte... AFAIK the cars retail for E300,000-E450,000 approx depending on package... i suppose it offsets costs for the major teams, we also have a few Ex WRC Corrolas...

Are the parts generally standard Subaru parts or once off specially made items i.e. how difficult are they to maintain?

Prodrive the offical works team offer full parts service , there are quite a few competent rally prep firms here that maintain the cars, McKinstry, TTI etc... its not uncommon to see prodrive service vans here either, In fact prodrive are debuting their new Group N impreza here in Killarney (may 3/4) for a shakedown, looks good too, hopefully it can give the evos a run for their money LOL
