1997 Classic Wagon with API Engine
Subaru Impreza Turbo, 1997 R plate, 5-door Wagon, 158k with full API engine rebuild at 106k, Red, 5-door, comprehensive service history including all bills and old Mots, Mot Feb 2013, Tax end Feb, CD player, Cat 1 with r/c/l, e/w, e/m
Full engine rebuild by top Subaru builder API now on 50k including lightened flywheel, ported headers, uprated fuel pump at cost of over £3k, standard UK car except for engine and stainless backbox, recent front tyres, brake pads and calliper rebuild, always well maintained regardless of cost - including new clutch, front and rear droplinks, rear dampers, disks and pads in my ownership.
Always started first time and been 100% reliable while I have owned it (apart from the engine rebuild!) Only ever run on V-power and Motul 300V oil.
Bad points: Bodywork getting tatty in places - especially rear arches - see photo (but interior is excellent), due for a service
Any inspection or questions welcome. No test pilots, please bring proof of insurance if you wish to test drive.
After a couple of years of trying to decide what to buy to replace it, I just couldn't find anything else that ticked all the boxes so I bought a Hawkeye - and having just been out in the snow laughing at everyone sliding around it was definitely the right decision
£1000

Also got a set of roofbars with locking covers for classic wagon, couple of the covers are missing but otherwise in good condition if anyone is interested.
