(07) SUBARU STI TYPE JDM SPEC C TYPE 20 (2007)
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...ype-20/3730939
Impreza Hawkeye MY07 Litchfield Spec C Type 20 in White very low mileage and comprehensive Subaru specialist service history.
When I decided to buy an Impreza I knew I had to find the best available after travelling far and wide to view so called mint examples I found the perfect car just 5 miles from home.
I found a 2007, one owner, Litchfield T20 with 14k miles on the clock, as soon as I viewed it I had to have it a deal was struck and I was the very happy new owner.
Vehicle specification on purchase
The car started life as a brand new 2007 JDM STi spec C imported by Litchfields

In addition to the above specification this car benefits from some sensible upgrades and modifications.

Subaru passenger sun visor (all that extra weight!!!)
Since purchasing the car I have
Had the underside cleaned and waxoiled (by Ninemeister Porsche Warrington)
Replaced the turbo actuator with a genuine item due to very slight wastegate rattle when cold (supplied by RCM, fitted and boost / fuelling checked by Powerstation)
Fitted new Rallytech mudflaps with Sti logos
Replaced the front Goodridge brake hoses (supplied and fitted by Chevron Motorsport)
Replaced the brake fluid with AP formula dot 5.1 (by Chevron Motorsport)
Replaced the gearbox oil with Fuchs transmission fluid (by Chevron Motorsport)
Geo/ tracking Set up ( by ninemeister Porsche Warrington.
Performance Friction 2 piece discs and Pagid RS29 pads less than 1000 miles ago (fitted by Chevron Motorsport)
Service history
The service history is without doubt comprehensive, completed every 6 months regardless of mileage the bulk being carried out at Roger Clark Motorsport, it has 16 stamps in the book and file full of paperwork to back it up.
Immediately after purchasing the vehicle it went to RCM for a once over , oil service and cam belt kit (this included genuine belt, tensioner, toothed idler, 2 smooth idlers, small smooth idler). Whilst there RCM discovered a small blow on the up-pipe gasket so this was obviously replaced.
General
This car can only be described as exceptional inside and out. It was fastidiously looked after by the first owner and I have continued his good work. The only minor issues (being very picky here) are a few minor stone chips on front bumper and at bottom of rear arch. These cant be helped with car been driven sadly. The Car has always been run on V- power.
This car wants for nothing!!!
Reason for sale
This has to be the hardest decision Ive ever had to make regarding a car. I bought the car to use everyday and be a track toy. Since purchasing the car Ive now developed the urge to do the Time Attack (clubmans) series. Im now thinking is this the right car to use in this manor (as its value is obviously condition / history based) or should I prepare and use a less perfect example? Thats my current dilemma !!!!!
Therefore I have decided to test the market to see if there is a prospective buyer out there that can appreciate this stunning car. If she doesnt sell I may continue and use her on track.
If anyone is interest or has any questions please get in touch pm
Thanks

Hi Chris,
I'm surprised to see this up for sale again-I was interested when it was for sale last year but you beat me to it!
How many miles have you done since purchase and have you done any trackdays etc in it?
Thanks
Gavin

Fair comment I just looked at a few Japanese web sites and to bring a S204 with 30k on the clock you'd get not much change out £25000 with shipping and Taxes
