CSC present for sale this outstanding, low-mileage Subaru Impreza WRX GB270 Final Edition saloon, one of just 400 cars and 300 saloons built as a ‘last hurrah’ to commemorate 14 years of Impreza WRX prior to the then new Impreza hatchback model being introduced.

These ‘Final Edition’ cars based on the standard 2.5 226bhp WRX model featured £7,600 worth of extra equipment including the following:-

*Prodrive Performance Package which increased power to 266bhp
*Prodrive Exhaust
*Lowered suspension – 30mm front and 10mm rear
*Quick-shift gear change with MOMO ‘air-race’ gear knob
*STi Front styling and lip spoiler

Further factory options fitted to this particular example at a cost of £3,755 are:-

*GB270 branded Leather & Alcantara interior option
*Clarion ICE upgrade including – Sat/Nav, iPod connection and hands-free phone kit
*Rear window privacy glass

The Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP) pushes the performance into base STi territory whilst remaining a tad more refined from a drivability point of view. The exterior styling is classic WRX with a touch of STi and WRC extravagance though the silver finished 18’’ alloy wheels do ‘tone down’ the look slightly compared to the common gold finished found on the majority of WRX and STi variants.

Internally, the interior of this example is set off by the optional half leather & alcantara seats and trim which adds a touch of sporty luxury to the familiar Subaru cabin. The MOMO gear knob and quick-shift gear change are a joy to use and offer a precision feel to the 5 speed manual gearbox, increasing the driver enjoyment of the otherwise classic Impreza driving experience.

Cosmetically, the car is presented in superb original condition throughout and has to be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. The paintwork remains in superb condition with no parking dents or blemishes other than a small amount of tiny stone chips as you would expect. The alloy wheels remain in un-damaged condition and all wear matching premium tyres.

HISTORY:
This GB270 was originally pre-ordered by Davies Subaru and Ford of Rhos Garage, Cardigan, Wales who took delivery on 30th September 2008. The car took pride of place in the showroom for two years, and was seen on a regular basis by the current owner from Aberystwyth as he passed by the showroom. When the garage became a Ford only dealership the current owner made an enquiry on the Impreza which resulted in its purchase. The GB270 was delivery from the dealership on 1st September 2010 having covered just 27 miles.

The car was returned to Davies Subaru on 3 further occasions for scheduled servicing and maintenance and then went to Davies Motorsport Services for the 10,000 mile service and replacement belts.

The current MOT runs until 19th September 2019 and shows no advisory points at the last test.

*The original Subaru Wallet, owners’ handbooks, manuals & service record.
