This Subaru Impreza WRX Type R STi Version is a renowned rally-inspired two-door performance car, which has been fitted with a ‘22B’ inspired body kit. It is powered by a turbocharged EJ20 flat-four, producing around 206kW and 353Nm of torque, with four-wheel drive through a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox. A Japanese-market example, this Impreza was imported into the UK in June 2007, and had seven owners there before being exported to Australia. It has now been with the seller for two years, and is now located in Leppington, NSW, Australia. The odometer indicates 160,999 km from new. This Impreza left the factory wearing Feather White paintwork, but has been refinished in the iconic Subaru hue of World Rally Blue, with two-tone black and blue fabric-trimmed seats. It rides on a set of gold 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with three-A and Anchee tyres. Equipment includes a Nardi three-spoke steering wheel, electric windows, electrically adjustable door mirrors, a Subaru-branded radio, cassette and CD player, a cigarette lighter, a heated rear screen with wiper, and air conditioning. Modifications include the paint colour change, the fitment of a ‘22B’ style body kit, BC Racing adjustable coilover suspension, a non-standard ‘mushroom’ air filter, an aftermarket blow-off valve, and A pillar-mounted auxiliary gauges. The front seats have also been replaced with those from a later Impreza WRX STi. The car will be accompanied by two sets of keys with key fobs. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The car’s last inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in December 2023, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This Impreza’s latest service was carried out in December 2023 at approximately 159,000 km by Martin's Mechanics. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change service. This Subaru Impreza WRX Type R STi Version is a solid example of the coveted two-door Japanese icon, which has been refinished in the iconic hue of World Rally Blue hue, and boasts an aggressive 22B-style body kit providing more on-road presence. Having been serviced relatively recently, since which it has been used sparingly, this rally-inspired coupe is now ready to be driven, where it will surely delight its next owner at every opportunity.
