Hey all, I'm looking at buying a 2001 WRX it's the normal 5 door but it says P1 on the log book!
Does anyone know why this would be?

 

does the logbook look genuine?

 

by 2001 WRX Do you mean a bugeye?? it's hard to mistake a P1 for one of them LOL

Only logical answer could be wrong logbook

 

never heard of a 4 door p1,but have seen some convert all the bits over to a 4 door shell its on youtube

 

What colour is it?

 

Only reason i ask is that and don't hold me to this, I read before that when the p1 was developed by prodrive the first car was a white 2dr. When the p1 finaly hit the dealers one of the main concern / complaints was it was only 2dr and people where interested in a 4dr version, prodrive decided to start teting on a 4dr shell which again came from Subaru in White. By the time it was ready for production The dealers still had not sold the last batch of p1's due to the price and it was then decided to pull the 4dr version. So there are 2 White p1's one a 2dr the other a 4dr so it is possible that the log book may state P1 if it's a White car, if not then forget all the above loL

 

Where did you read that?

 

Perhaps DVLA made a cockup when hey registered it, most imports are GL's.

 

So its a P1 wrx wagon?

I think someone has made a mistake.

 

The P1 development vehicle was white and Vikki Buttler Henderson tested it............it's well known on SN and AFAIK all P1 work was with the Retna bodyshell.

Prodrive used a number of other imports (4 door) to work on at various times, Mike Tuckerwood had one. The rumour is that they were released with GX on the logbook indicating that they were non-turbo. Whereas in fact soeme had huge turbo's LOL

Logbook looks genuine, it comes up as P1 on the internet as well, It's metallic green and yeah the blobeye model.

 

So it's a '2001' 'Blobeye' 'P1', i would run away not walk

 

Lol.. Maybe I'll look elsewhere then

 

The deleted pic is a mica green Bugeye with a blob scoop LOL

Owned a p1 for near on 3 years and am a member of p1woc, the White 2dr is/was currently for sale for 12k and also the 4dr came up for sale once and there was a post put up and it all came out in there

 

Yeah the white 2 door is mine,had it 3 years now,and decided against selling after all.I just wondered when i read your reply if it was right,i read through all the mags from 2000,that have my car in,and loads of other stuff,and i,ve never come across a 4 door being mentioned,but having said that,i might have heard it mentioned on the P1WOC,not saying its not true,but i cant find a mention of it anywhere,i,m just interested now

 

Mate I will have a dig around and see if I can find it. Oh and good choice about keeping it mate as you would of only ended up regretting it trust me I have but still I can't complain I found a nice replacement in the end

 

hey up steve333, i actually thought that i owned a v5 white type r that was gonna be a donor for the p1 Reg; T*** POA, cause it was registered and imported from new by prodrive, also it's a listed has having a 2.2litre on the logbook, which i'm lead to believe that prodrive was going to be using intially before they decided to use the 2.0 block, but done a bit of digging and found out marcus dodd used to own it.

 

Stevie333

Your car is well known And there are lots of jealous people on here whom might like it, me included

I've never come accross a 4 door P1 and maybe the boys on P1WOC can let me know

Hiya mate,
yeah my reg is t***bfc,as far as i can find out all the other prototypes have been crushed,but for some reason mine was,nt luckily.I now have it in writing from Prodrive that mine was a prototype as well,i have all the photos etc,but its nice to have it in writing,the car actually came with the test book from Millbrook/MIRA,and a load of other bits,so its definetley gen.Its still a bit of a mystery why it wasnt crushed like the others though,someone knows,but it doesnt really matter i suppose.

 

Its a nice car to own mate,and brilliant to drive,but part of the idea of buying it was it wasnt going to cost me a fortune because i didnt want to change anything.I should have known betterbecause instead of changing bits like i,ve done on all my other scoobys,i,ve gradually repalced half the car with original parts,and its bloody dearer than aftermarket bits,i,ve just bought all new suspension,dont even ask how muchStill,in a few years the car will be brand new again.But then again its all about the enjoyment you get from doing it and the shows etc isnt it?isnt it?
