Default Impreza Type Ra V5 Ltd Edition 380bhp

Subaru Impreza Type RA Ltd Edition V5.
Model 317/1000,


Hi guys, selling my RA due to change of job and need a practical daily drive.
Had this car for nearly 5 years, but decided to do some upgrades a couple of years ago. The final result was 379.6 bhp, done by the www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk at Surrey Rolling road.
The car only gets used at weekend due to having a company car, always cleaned and polished even if not used.

Car was imported in Nov 2001

The Engine rebuild was finished in November 2009.

Find below all the upgrades I had done by www.autoresto.co.uk

STi suede front seats, rear Standard Black Seats.
The clutch is standard because it was brand new before the engine re-build, but I haven't had any problems after 3k miles.
I would say the Ra needs someone to take her to the next level.
I've Only done 3K miles since the new engine rebuild . The piston are standard RA spec, so kept the bhp at 380 as a advisory from Simon at jollygreenmonster.
.
Bad Points.
The bodywork isn't too bad for the year but needs a bit of tidying up to make A1 condition.
The separator plate has recently occurred a small oil leek which will be done as soon as my mechanic has room in his workshop.
If someone wants to make an offer and do the leek them self's, I'm open to offers.
I also have a new metal separator plate ready to fit.
The drivers seat bolster is a bit worn but not as bad as some I've seen, always been careful when getting in and out
not to make it any worse.

With a good solid engine with the work done where its counted, a possible project for someone who wants a rare Type Ra.

MOT Dec 11,Tax 06/11
Any questions please ask, and I'll do my best to answer them or ask my mechanic.
If you would like to talk to my mechanic personally I can make arrangements.
Thank you.

I'm looking for £5.8k,
All sensible offers considered, Many Thanks.
