***JDM Impreza STI Prodrive***
Having only covered 1,200 miles since I purchased this rare Bugeye, I have decided to put my stunning Impreza up for sale. Definitely a head over heart decision this one
.
JDM Subaru Impreza STI Prodrive only 1 of a 1,000 made in Japan
2002 02
73,531 on the clock as at 12/09/14. Imported in 2005 equating to approx. 64,000 miles covered
4 previous owners as confirmed on the V5C
MOT to April 2015 (with all old MOT certificates present)
Tax to January 2015 (currently £250 per year)
2 x Keys
Remote Locking with TOAD security system
Below are the main benefits of owning a JDM rather than the less superior UK counterpart. Im sure theres also more ..
EJ207 Semi Closed Block with Forged Pistons enabling an 8,000rpm limit
Shorter gearbox ratios in 5th and 6th
HiD Headlights
Electric Folding Mirrors
Rear Windscreen Washer/Wiper
Tinted Rear Windows
Grey carpet
Warning beep when reversing
Rally Roof Flap
Although the Japanese Service book is fully complete, including 3 stamps from Japan, I only have invoices from the start of my ownership. However the history of the car can be traced via ScottishScoobies.net. One of the previous owners was the MD of Whiteline UK in Dunfermline. I travelled from Essex to Glasgow to purchase this car, and on my return had the Cambelt changed by Extreme Scoobies, and the full 60k major service carried out by FB Tuning for my piece of mind. My car has also had a recent Front O2 Lambda sensor and MAF so literally no big bills within the next few years that I am currently aware of.
The Bodywork is in superb condition no door dings, scrapes, or stone chips. The car polishes up beautifully and the alloys have just benefited from a recent refurbishment so they are spot on. Also my car is fully undersealed with no rust that I can see along the sills or arches. Really hard to tell this is a 12 year old car and I challenge anybody not to be impressed
The Interior is also in excellent order, no rips, dodgy smells, carpet wear or holes in the dashboard. It is quite clear that the car has been owned and well looked after by genuine enthusiasts before me.

Bad Points
Being a 12 year old car it is of course not in concours condition. The boot carpet has seen better days, the front seatbelts are a bit squeaky when you pull them, and the speakers are among the worst Ive ever experienced. Just making you aware in case ICE is your thing! Still I guess you dont but this type of car for the music; the exhaust and turbo spool noise is music to the ears anyway
This is my pride and joy and I have looked after it accordingly. Its generally driven with mechanical sympathy and always warmed up and cooled down properly. I am a mature owner (39), who doesnt smoke or have young children who drop biscuits or spill juice all over the place. I regularly wash and wax it with good quality products and it would make a great car for a fellow enthusiast like myself who I know would get as much pleasure from owning it as I have.
I would welcome any professional inspection (i.e. not your mate Dave who knows all about them because he fitted a dump valve to a RS Turbo back in 1992) and if you would like a test drive youll have to produce proof of fully comp insurance for the day www.dayinsure.com and produce evidence that you have the funds in place to carry out the purchase if you so wish. Joyriders need not apply!
Im not looking for any type of part exchanges. Tyre kickers, test pilots and agencies will be met with hilarity, then a polite but firm goodbye. I do not need to sell as its strictly used as a second car, and if I dont get any interest I will happily continue to enjoy it as it puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it!
So to conclude, its a mechanically sound, low mileage for the year car which goes well, stops well and goes round corners extremely well!, so if youre thinking of viewing and then making a derisory offer, please do not waste your time or mine. I am based near the West Essex/Hertfordshire border 20 minutes from Stansted Airport
£6,995
