Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type R Version 3 ‘97’ - 555 - Only 1 previous owner to me - Build number 1129 of 1371 - Low mileage - Sonic Blue - Full JDM/UK service history - 420+ bhp.         - PRICE CUT, NOW £32.995   History of the car. Produced in 1997 to celebrate WRC victories in 1996 this was the first and original Impreza Type R ever made. Only 1371 V3’s were ever produced and was only in production for less than a year making it the rarest version Type R. I'd imagine only a few hundred are on the road today world wide. Being 25+ years old this car can now be imported to USA. Total build number 1129 of 1371 and 524 of 621 finished in Sonic Blue. Benefiting from DCCD control / I/C water spray / Red top STI engine / Close rack steering / Close ratio group N gearbox / No traction control / No stability control and No ABS. Blue Dials and 555 branded seats were limited to the V3 only. I purchased this car as a fresh import back in 2009. With only 1 Japanese owner, I am the first UK owner. As you can imagen it’s a very reluctant sale for me, this car literally feels like part of the family after being my pride and joy for over 13 years. The car has been parked in a heated garage for the last 10 years so body wise it's solid. The car only gets driven on the occasional dry weekends. The car comes with a crazy amount of history about 150 pages in total, all kept neatly in a big folder.
