Returning after many years...
Hope all are well.
Well it's been a while but i'm back with my second scooby. It killed me getting rid of my old one but as my first child was due, I had to due to running costs.
Well since my last visit much has changed. I know have 2 children, a daughter and a son. And rather than the midlands I now live in Cornwall
Moved down here October last year just before my son was born. But now i've settled and established myself i'm able to come back to Subaru, especially as the roads down here are wicked.
At the moment I also have another nice rare beast, which is one of the rare Vauxhall Vectra Super Tourers. It's one of the even rarer V6 models and has some tasty mods and is a beautiful to car to drive and look at. This will be up for sale soon though so may give a heads up on here just incase, but heres the Veccy...
But anywho on to the more important car hehe.
I've bought myself a gorgous MY99 (S reg) jap import, JDM Impreza. This Impreza has been impeccably cared for from day 1. The car itself is a JDM model as mentioned, but with the bonus of being imported by a dealer in this country from brand new. Therefore has a Full UK service history including a fully stamped up service bookand has never been registered in Japan but is Jap spec The car has had two previous owners before me. There really aren’t many imports with this amount of history let alone an Impreza.
Finished in Cool Grey or Steel Grey, the paint is in top condition, and this is the same paint as the RB5 special edition (first of the Richard Burns editions). I am led to believe that this is rare on any other model than the RB5, i'm sure someone will confirm for me.
Power has been checked to maintain healthy running every year with RR print outs to prove to make sure it hasn't loast any power over the years. RR printout to prove 310bhp and 301lb ft.
Paperwork to show that it's been serviced every 5k or 6 months, whichever was first. Just recently had its major service so most fluids good for 2 years now Maintained regardless of cost the car also benefits from some modifications.
