SOLD >

An opportunity to own a very rare and highly regarded vehicle. A very useable power/torque band, makes this a perfect point to point enthusiast car. Whilst equally civilised for 'run of the mill' journeys too.

Despite it's JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) pedigree, it can be service and maintained using the same fluids and consumables as a UK car by UK Subaru dealers or the many Subaru specialists.

One fastidious owner from new, this car has wanted for nothing. Always correctly warmed and cooled down and treated with complete sympathy by a mature owner. This vehicle’s condition is exceptional, inside, outside and underneath & . No trackday use. It has only been run on Shell Optimax or V-Power (It was mapped on optimax and only currently has one Ecutek map- However it can now be mapped for multiple maps). Only ever washed carefully using the two bucket method and detailed twice a year using Meguiar's products. Garaged every night from new.
The only evidence of use is a few minor (re-painted) stone chips to the front(bonnet edge/bumper/wings. The rear plastic trim covering the front of the rear arches have stone chip marks on them.

No pets have ever been in the car and it’s never been smoked in. The rear seats, have probably been sat in twice!

Just over 14,500 miles from new, never damaged or repaired, it is as straight as the day it rolled off the line. It has a fully documented Subaru specials service history- ()

Always using Fuchs(Titan) fully synthetic oil, mostly done by RCM ( ) , but also Powerstation & Prosport. Serviced twice a year regardless of mileage. MOT and Tax until May 2015. Sensible insurance available from knowledgeable specialist Keith Michaels(call 0208 3291150 and ask for Gary Moulson).

Supplied new by Iain Litchfield of Litchfield Imports(01684 850 999) in May 2007. Iain can confirm the original order and that he only made between 16 – 20 of these very limited editions.

Original purchase invoice: .

It was first registered in Japan on the 19th March 2007.

Most people on here know what the vehicle is, but for the uninitiated, here’s what you need to know:

Sounds clean motor good luck with the sale! What you replacing her with?

 

Cant wait to see pics???

 

Does it have mud flaps

 

Just seen its white in the thread title!!!

Those beers must be strong im drinking!!!

 

Cheers Immy, it's not been an easy decision. Change in career 4 yrs ago, company car, and growing family eating more of my free time has lead to the decline in use and hence the low mileage. Every time I take it out it reminds me why I've kept it.

It's being replaced by a mountain bike in the short term, but my longer term plans will hopeful see a Caterham, Westie or similar!

 

Lovely motor mate. I'm in the same position with my T25...Everytime I drive it I feel I have to keep it but getting to the point where I need the money and time of life demands it...

Great cars to own.
Best of luck with the sale.

 

Cheers Raj,

I've had some healthy interest already with one coming to view this weekend. I'm in no rush to sell and part of me hopes it takes a while!

Good luck with your sale too.

Ian

 

Don't like the black alloys... they make the car look kinda... weird

 

Hi Mick,

Luckily the black wheels are optional!

Best regards,

Ian

 

I CANT C ANY PICS,

 

+1

 

Sorry for the problems with the pics. I've now changed the hosting. However the pictures don't really do the car justice. I'd stongly recommend seeing it in the flesh.

 

Is this car still for sale?

 

Hi Quinvy, yes it's still available. I had one interested viewer at the weekend. However he's not got the funds available yet. I aim to put up more pics tomorrow.

 

Thanks Ian for the quick response. I think there will be many people on here, myself included, who would love to own your beautiful car, but just can't get their hands on the money at this time.
I would have thought that it would fly on pistonheads. There was a blob spec C on there at the weekend and it's not there now.

 

Think i saw this car at RCM around Feb. My car was being mapped at the time.

Looked spotless. GLWTS

 

More pics added. Still more to follow.

 

That looks stunning in white!

 

Stunning car, I've got a standard Hawk Spec C and they are awesome cars! Good luck with the sale

 

Thanks for the nice words guys. Video now added too!

 

I'll be at Roger Clark Motorsport tomorrow morning for a service, if that helps any one to view locally?

Good luck with the sale

 

Had a great early morning cross country blast(cool inlet air and clear roads) on Saturday to take her for a Service at Roger Clark Motorsport. More pics added above from this visit. They kindly alowed me to take some pics in the workshop of the underside. My car was in good company there, as Mike has just bought an excellent Spec C too!

Picture of the service book also added.

 

back to the top for the weekend.

 

I want a Revolution Motor Sport black mesh lower front grill like is on this motor if anybody as one to sell. Just PM me.

Great motor and free bump

 

Nice car, very tastefully modified.
GLWTS.
Do you still have the original suspension as some people may prefer it standard.

 

Hi Fpan, yes the original unused, struts, springs and roll bars are included in the sale.
