I notice things like Escorts and Mini Coopers are rocketing into mad £££'s nowadays. Minis I sold for £3000 are now £30,000.

What do you reckon the best Impreza for a future classic / investment?

Rally replicas maybe?

cheers.

 

22B

 

22B.

 

I think the P1 will shoot up as they get rare.
2005 STI has a good shout.

 

It's got to be a blue bugeye Wrx

 

1997 classic. Yours for 13k

V3 type r s!!

 

Tommy Kaira M20B Impreza STI

 

22b followed by a standard P1

But all unmolested classics should start to creep up as there is not many left now
Thanks to the dump valve / stickers brigade

 

It's been f**ked over, VTA DV and chavved up, the engine may have done 1000 miles but the car is now 17 years old FFS.

The money is with unmodded vehicles.

 

lol neither of these are rare or anything special

 

Hmmm, not sure about the P1. 1000 wasn't it? I doubt many have been tracked, or written off.

 

spec c, ra, s202

 

Rb5..... Was it 400?? Ish made, gets my vote.

 

its just a type r with the good bit removed.

type r has more of a chance at being a classic

 

 

 

22b uk .followed by 22b jap.,no others really of any significance .

 

2 sexiest/Iconic UK versions my friend.

 

Don't rub it in

 

This ^^^^^

But was the OP restricting the choice to Subarus or can we go to other marques?

 

Agree 100%.

 

My WR1 will be worth loads when 300 more have bitten the dust. The P1 will always command a premium, as will the type ra and anything litchfield. An RB320 wouldn't be a bad choice to buy and stick in the garage.

 

Original 2005 MY Type 20 Blob...


...(runs for cover.)

 

Wr1 lol
Nobody even wants them now

 

The models you mention are desirable cars bit will never command the high prices never mind the road presence of any model 22b uk or import.
P1 maybe in a few years but not many 100 percent originals left .rb320 just a bit of suspension upgrades and fancy badging not that special.

 

Except me, Obviously.

 

To be fair though it's not about commanding a premium, it's about being a bona fide 'classic'.

WR1s, P1s, RB320s, GB270s, Spec Cs, Terzos, RB5s, Catalunyas, T20s, T25s, Cosworths etc. etc. all may command various premiums over the cooking models and all may be good cars, but in 50 years time the Impreza everyone will seek out is the 22B and it will be the only one fetching silly money when that time comes. It has the looks, the heritage, the exclusivity and is the most iconic of the Impreza models..... a true 'classic car'!

P.S. None of which makes your car a bad car, but hopefully you get what I am saying!

 

Very well said ,it will always be a classic car not just a classic impreza.

 

So what other marques will be classics?
