Is there such a thing as a uk 22b? I thought 22b's were imports?? Or am I mistaken?

 

There were a handful of official UK versions, 14 or 16 or something like that

 

22B "Type UK"
In late 1998, Subaru UK officially imported 16 22Bs (described below), and passed them on to Prodrive for modification. The UK cars differ from the privately imported 22Bs, not just in their 3 year factory warranty, but with revised gear ratios more suited to UK roads. The was acheived by changing the final drive ratio from 3.9 to 4.44 to lengthen the gearing. Cosmetically, the car got the headlights from the '99 model, UK rear light clusters and driving lights (not fog lights!) were fitted where the normal 22B has blanking plates. From the back, you can tell you're looking at one of the rarest cars in the world by the "Type UK" and "Prodrive" stickers. The price was £39,950, and demand for the cars was overwhelming.

Interestingly, Subaru UK were not able to put their 16 cars through the Single Vehicle Approval scheme because the maximum of 50 privately imported 22Bs had already been registered in 1998. Consequently the Type UKs were registered in 1999. The cars do not meet European Type Approval regulations for noise and emissions.

....

 

AKAIK 16 no. 22B were brought in and SVA'd by Subaru UK, so officially there are btween 16 and 20 UK 22bs (some were given the same number and are in the hands of Nicky grist, Colin MCCrash and Dave Richards)

Cheers

 

16 type uk cars There were a few changes over the import, I think gearing was one. Need some 22B owners to confirm.
