This car is a 5 door estate, non-sunroof example and finished in silver with deep velour seats. The interior is very clean and comes with Subaru velour over mats. All electrics are working including the air conditioning. The radio is still Japanese, so will only pick up Radio 2, but it has a CD player and 6 disc changer located in the boot.
The car is sporting original 17” Subaru wheels with good quality (nearly new) Bridgestone Potenza tyres.

A stainless steel Powerflow exhaust has been fitted and is supplied with lifetime guarantee. The car will be supplied with 6 months road tax and 12 months MOT.
The engine is very strong with its 2.0 litre twin turbo boxer engine. Power output is 280 bhp with a manual gearbox. I have been told that this is quicker than an Impreza but cheaper to insure and obviously more practical due to the vast load carrying ability and sure footed 4x4 AWD system. The car has covered 65k miles and is HPI clear.

Extras on the car include the Cassette player along with 6 disc Clarion CD changer, Tinted rear windows, Folding electric mirrors, retractable dog guard (which disappears when not in use), Momo steering wheel with air bag and a retractable rear luggage blind.

A cam-belt change and service was carried out recently and I have documents to prove this.

As the car is original, it has a few scratches (I can send pictures of these if required) but nothing to detract from the appearance of the car. Some have been touched in (but not very well). The grill is loosing some of its silver plating, but again this is easily rectified. It also has a small plug in the front apron that is the connector to the engine pre-heater used for the -30 degree Finnish winters. This is hardly noticeable. I have priced the car accordingly for the scratches, touch ups and grill.

The car was purchased by my manager in Tokyo, Japan. It was a one owner car when he purchased it complete with all documentation. Following a job transfer to Finland after 3 years, the car was exported to Finland. It was used in Helsinki for a few years and then bought over to the UK when he moved here.

The car is in good condition and has full history both from Japan and Finland. She comes with all books, service history and import documents (both Japan to Finland and Finland to UK).

Overall, the car is very nice and benefits from its originality. It drives very well and once both turbos spool up, she is very quick for her size. The car is more of a Q-car than an Impreza and blends into the crowd when required, thus not attracting the wrong type of attention.

Car is booked in for a MOT on the 19th August and I have no doubt that it will pass.

I require a quick sale as I have no room to store the car. I purchased this from my boss last week as he has a new company car now and hence am in possession of the green part (new keeper) of the V5 document. If you require a road test, please bring ID and valid car insurance or the keys to your Porsche!!:lol:

Price is £2500 ono. I am open to offers but nothing silly and strictly no part exchanges as I am struggling to store my current collection of vehicles.
