Default B4D HK's S201
I am now the proud owner of a S201, number 28/300.

I know the S201 is a bit of a marmite car and some will say I am

However I can honestly say that this is the best "out of the box" Classic I have ever driven or owned (including the 22b)

The car is totally standard and has very low mileage. Full details can be found here: http://www.sti.jp/product/s201/top.htm

Either way I thought I would share some pics. Please enjoy and be gentle.

Those that know me know I am obsessed with the marque and its history

Cheers H

It is an ugly duckling but is still strangely alluring. Rare as hens teeth as well, nice find

To be fair it looks a minter .....but, if someone was to post their car with an aftermarket bodykit that resembled the kit of the S201 they would get ripped apart on this board...

By the blue seats and blue centre console parts i guess its based on a Limited?

I always thought this one looked good with the five spokes and the decals up the side.

Nice to be rare, but the s201 has never been the best looking car but that was never the STi design brief - it was designed to be the best Impreza at the time.

Agree. Everything is probably function over form. Congrats on the purchase!

Love them. But the only reason I could never own one is the fact that every other road user, (who's not in the know), would be looking at you thinking, "look what that idiots done to that Subaru". When really they've just seen a piece of history.

Cracking car tho mate. One of my favourite scoobys. Alongside the uk300.
