Especially originals and UK Cars?

Must be increasing in value quite substantially now?

Bubba po

I don't think any nine-year-old Subarus are increasing in value at the moment, Pete. Especially when 16-year old fresh imports with only 60,000 miles on them can be picked up for a song, these days.

I've got one...

2001 MY00 UK Classic (45K on the clock)......fingers are crossed big time (doubt it they do though)

GlesgaKiss

I'd think they would be opening up more of a gap from the junk out there...but nothing spectacular in the current climate surely?

SunnySideUp

I would hazard a guess that a One Owner UK Unmolested Classic with a folder of impeccable History would be one of the most desirable of all Imprezas?

I know of at least 4, including mine...but they're far from unmolested!

hux309

Ray T

I presume we are not counting wagons as they never fetch as much as saloons!

Lovely motor this one!

Pete

Especially a UK 22B.............Now that,d be a car to own..

SunnySideUp

On the contrary, Wagons get the nod .... less likely to be modified, more likely to be cherished and faster, of course - due the the better rear road holding

EVERY Chav has a Saloon ..... none have Wagons

Fat Boy

MY00 P1 One owner, 53k miles. Only a little bit modified

Not just yet ...give it, ooh another 20-30 years & they might (think MK1,2 Escorts)

Not that you'll be around long enough to see it ...what are you now Pete, 80 odd?

Not as desireable as a one owner classic sti type R or RA or V-Limited with all the history, of which there are several already here and often available at Japanese auctions, check Bonsaicars.com. UK Subaru's are generally boring, let's get real and honest. (Yes, I have has a few UK cars, also a JDM which was so much better it was like a different car). I am not referring to modded examples which can all be exciting, irrespective of where they originate from. Who wants a 215 bhp in a car that was originally designed for 280 bhp, but because we here in Britain for many years have been accepting 2nd best, along comes a 215 bhp UK classic, minus all the very things it SHOULD have, and we're supposed to say 'wow, what a car?'

Desireable Imprezas, in my humble opinion: (Must have fully documented history)

RB 320
RB 5
STI TYPE R
STI TYPE RA
STI V-Limited
Spec C
S 202, 203, 204
TYPE RA-R
P1
22B
WR 1
STI JDM only bugeye, blobeye, hawkeye

That doesn't really count tho I guess.........

On the look out for an original condition Series McRae too- can't be many of them left knocking about!

What do these different grades mean on imported cars?

hux309

Grade 5 - spotless usually with full history Grade 1 - crap Mine was grade 4, couple small scratches that's about it.

LUCKO

iTrader: (3)

GC8

iTrader: (9)

Yeah, got a wad of History but is all in Jap..........
Tried to make the most I could outa the pictures but one of my mates goes to Uni with a Japanese girl so she says she will translate for me

900miles...........wow, don't think I could own a car and not drive it!
Bet that will be worth a few bob in 10-20years time......
