Either they are, or i'm seeing things.

Just followed one home, thought it was a WR1 at first and got all excited, then noticed it had twin zorsts, no STI badge, WRX spoiler, and standard WRX anthracite alloys.

I thought this colour was going to be exclusive to the WR1???????

Could be a solberg edition from Japan

Should be possible for an EU import - IIRC the Ice Blue was available in Germany for a while

Like Sonic Blue 4dr classics being EU only I guess

this car had a main dealer badge on it though.
I thought all main dealers had to source their cars in the UK?

Same thing happened to me last night.. driving along & stopped at the lights when I saw what appeared to be a WR1 facing me at the other set of lights... I was 100% sure it was a WR1 until it turned right & then I noticed it had the WRX spoiler and standard wheels..

It's also an ICE Blue WRX that's on the Subaru UK website.

I wouldn't have thought they would put it up there unless they were going to sell it, but who know IM's thinking.

maybe it was the prodrive lads steaming around in customers wr1's before the ppp and wheel them, of course the speedo's would be disconnected as they wouldn't want to attract any undue attention.


who said that consipracy theories were dead and buried (im sure elvis isnt but thats another story)




the things i say when im bored at work

Would a standard STI have the twin exhausts spotted by FrenchBoy though??

hmmmm the plot thickens maybe the wr1 i just a tarted up WRX???? and weve all been duped......








Seriously tho i havent a clue, i would be mightly p{ssed off if i had an EXCLUSIVE wr1 to then find that colour available on other cars...

Car Imports Direct in Bristol did have what looked like a WR1 in Ice Metalic Blue. It was a Solberg Edition of the STi which does not include the 18" alloys, PPP or Prodrive lowered springs. I think this version is only available in the EU (not in UK though), although I think there are some going to South Africa.

Try their web site, although I think it may have been removed now as the car has been sold. Was reasonably priced a £22,995 including three year Subaru warranty.
