my 1996 prodrive impreza
 

Hi Guys

I wonder if someone could help me?

this car is proving to be a bit of a mystery, When i bought this car i was told that it was a prodrive limited edition and that it was number 22of25 made that year.

It has mixed features that make hard to determiner weather the car i imported or uk spec.

The indicator stalk is on the left hand side,it has a UK VIN number,it has a cooling shroud over the turbo with Jap writing on it.

But it does not have a rear wiper blade and the Arial is on the front of the car.

i would like to know if it is a rare car or not?

I have photos but i am new to this site and it looks like only URL files can be up loaded.

If you set up a photo bucket account you can copy the iml link code. Then paste it on a thread here and the pic will come up. I know my mate had a jdm wrx and that had an aerial on the a pillar but then he had a rear wiper. Also, where's your rear fog light? Is it in the rear light unit, or a separate lamp in or on the bottom of the rear bumper? It sounds UK to me, but don't hold me to that. I think there's a tool bar on here that you can enter your vin and it gives details of the car.

Have a look at the applied model code on the VIN then try and match it up here

Welcome Wayne, was good meeting you and your pals on Saturday evening.

Like said best bet is to get up some pics through photobucket, sure some one will know, maybe on the main site rather than the ESOC area.

Scott

thanks for the info guys,

it has a separate lamp fix to the bottom of the rear bumper.

I have emailed prodrive some pictures so hopefully they will be able to shed some light on it.

likewise Scott i will look forward to seeing at the tunnel run!

The car definitley looks like one of the rare prodrive editions there so i'd say you have yourself some gold dust there mate!

Also a date for the diary is 6th July, Lakeside lockdown. Wil be simialr to last weeks meet however this wil also fall on the posers cruise to Southend so the plan is to meet at the Tescos in the Mayflower retail park, Basildon and head to Southend for a bit then whoever wishes to join me head back to Lakeside for the meet. i think its on Facebook somewhere.

It looks that way mate, i am going to give it some real tlc and try and get it mint and keep hold of it.

The 6th of July sounds like a good night mate count me mike and Chris in.

:D

Looks like you have a good one there Wayne :thumb:

And a very rare edition too :D


How much for his mother then :p :D
