If your after a UK car then i don't think it was available in sonic blue.

I maybe wrong though.

yes you can get them sonic blue on MY99/00 but ive only seen Type Rs at that age n in the same colour but as you know, not uk

If ure after uk cars then i doubt it as i dont think the Terzo went as far as 99/00. But your best bet would be to go for a Terzo

you can get a euro import in sonic blue 99/00 if you don't fancy a jap import

don't know how rare they are though, as said if you don't want to stray from uk cars, the terzo is your only option.

Mines from Dublin and is classed an EU import. Its Sonic Blue and its the only way you'll get a Sonic Blue 99/00 which is exactly the same as a UK car in all but name (AND IMHO has just as much underseal as any UK car I've looked at )

Mine has FSSH and is insured for the same price as a UK car. I've never actually seen a Sonic Blue Classic WRX, only STIs

If it were me though and had my money again it would have to be an STI Type RA 555 - The Sonic Blue one with the posh looking blue seats

Yeah but the P1 is an STi 5 which is a jap import.

I have an MY00 that is called San Remo Blue which is the same colour as Sonic Blue in Japan 74F

But mine is a European model.

Er no you can't actually! Type R's are WR blue, sonic blue is different and was made especially for the P1.

There are a few shades of sonic blue, the P1 being different to that of the imported type R & even 22B
But go into any paint shop & you will find the paint code being the same 74f.

I should know had trouble matching the paint for my bonnet, ended up with 3 tins of 74f all different shades.

All P1s were UK cars but were built on the JAP STi5 model, which is an import.

No it hasn't, just find an EU Sonic Blue Impreza. Its the same as a UK car!

They do appear from time to time on here - I bought mine from SNet. Just wait till one turns up.

That might work - V reg. Says Met Blue but its Sonic Blue and the seats are normal UK/WRX seats. Odds are its an EU jobby £8,495

As far as I am aware all Subaru's are built in Japan, so I suppose you could argue that they are all imports.

The P1 is based on an STi 5, but prodrive tweeked it and the car gained uk type approval.

It was sold new by UK dealers with a 3 year extendable warranty, that makes it a uk car in my book.

The name means **** all without the actual paint code.

Sonic Blue is 74F
WR Blue is 2C

Sonic Blue was available from '97 through to '00, so not exclusively P1.

As far as 'UK' cars go, then the only Sonic Blue (74F) models were the 22b and P1. Any others were euro-imports or JDm cars AFAIK.

Checked amd yes it is a V reg in Sonic Blue, uk turbo 215bhp, he's only young so there's no chance it's anything else.

What about this one that EddScott has already found? Definatley looks Sonic blue to me. Its in Hitchin which I believe is about 50 miles from Peterborough.
