Default How rare are 2 door Impreza's now?
Since buying my Type R in October I've seen 4 other 2 door Impreza's.
Moley's Type R and 3 P1's (One was in Cyprus)
That's an average of one a month, are they all in heated garages or is just where I live?

Is there a way of finding out how many P1/TypeR/22b's there are left in the UK?.

Those numbers are only only ever going to be right if the cars were registered correctly when they were imported in to the country and we all know that's not correct

It's a great website, but totally useless for Imprezas.

The imports were registered as so many different models that its impossible to know how many there are.

Eventually there will be more 3 doors than 4, since not many people bother to cherish the 4 doors!

Yup, I've searched on that site before and it didn't even find my old WRX if i recall, as if the Impreza didn't exist until about '97.
So in reality then nobody really has a clue?

Seen many 2 doors lately?

There was one done though, chap welded the back doors up on a wagon. Sure there were some pics on here somewhere.

As far as I'm aware there were 16 cars officially imported to the UK.

I would suspect the others are those eBay specials incorrectly registered that we see from time to time

Sounds about right, even if we had exact figures its likely they are untrue.
On a side note john do you still have that 4 door shell?

I've got a Version 5 here

Bought it from Ireland, tried to register it as a Type R but came out as an Impreza R close enough
