Description
1997 Subaru Impreza V-Limited Type R GC8 (NOT P1 as per title, that was the only 2 door option) - Modified - 65,053 miles. 334 BHP
For sale is my 1997 Subaru Impreza V-Limited (V-Ltd) Type R.
This is a genuine V-Limited (rare as hen's teeth now) with a comprehensive modification history.
Full build thread can be found on scoobynet. My username there is bonestter and it's in the gallery section under 'Type R' published May 24, 2011 which is when I purchased the car (can not post any kind of link here)
Mileage: 65,053 miles. Never been on track. No MOT (has done two miles since last MOT)
The car has been modified and is a proper performance car. It drives very well but requires TLC and maintenance before it can be considered back in its prime. Engine had done ~1000 miles on my purchase with a new block from a WR1. Gearbox has had a refresh (which actually didn't need doing).
Many brand new parts fitted during my initial ownership, including suspension - Bilsteins and original P1 springs.
Car has multiple braces, including front top & bottom, sills, in-car rear low floor bar, New Age steering wheel. The list is long, but all on the scoobynet thread
It is being sold as is, with no work carried out prior to sale.
Ideal for:
Someone who wants a strong base to finish to their own spec
Enthusiast looking for a project with solid bones and low mileage
Track day or fast road use
Please note: This is not a concours or showroom-condition car. It is a modified 27-year-old performance Subaru that needs some time and money spent on it.
I have had a lot of interest for the car and am currently not entertaining ANY OFFERS at all
Serious enquiries only.
Viewing highly recommended.
