Looks OK. Steering wheel is a put off - not being original etc. Don't know where the 555 comes from.

Went to look at a Lancia Integrale at MIR last year and it was a dog. Very similar looking Lancia now for sale at WRC Sales. I'm sure up that way they swap the cars around that don't sell.

From: Northants. 22B sold, as-new Lotus Omega instead.

Why do all these Jap importers seem to be in West Yorkshirestan? Is it a VAT free zone or something?

I like it too. If it was a WRC edition with the blue front seats it would be my fav classic edition bar the 22b.

I thought the only Impreza to have 555 in its name was the yellow v3 type Rs. Crappy looking steering wheels really put me off.

I've been to all the import centres up there and cars without some sort of "issue" are in the minority.
