An excellent example of the special-edition WRX UK300, created to celebrate Richard Burns and Robert Reid winning the World Rally Championship in 2001. In 2001 Richard Burns and his co-driver Robert Reid won their first, and only, World Rally Championship title driving a Prodrive-prepared Subaru Impreza. In celebration of this achievement Subaru worked with Prodrive and the designer of the WRC car, Peter Stevens, to create a special-edition Impreza for the UK market, limited to 300 cars - the UK300. Based on the WRX model, the UK300 was essentially a trim level upgrade with a list price of £24,995.
The model provided the following extras over and above the standard WRX available at the time: Prodrive WRC Style headlights. Prodrive front lip spoiler. Prodrive rear high-level spoiler. Prodrive/OZ Racing 18" gold alloys with Pirelli P-Zero tyres. White side markers and indicators on the wings. UK300 badges on the wings, boot and intercooler. Blue Lux Suede interior. UK300 logos on the footwell mats and on the boot carpet. Numbered interior plaque with UK300 logo. WR Blue paintwork.
While the cars were Prodrive-styled, they did not come with the Prodrive Performace Pack (referred to as the WR Sport Performance Pack in the brochure) as standard, instead this was offered as a £1,600 optional extra. Our example here is number 295/300 and is in fantastic condition. It has only travelled 18,000 miles and comes with a full service history including a recent cambelt service. Finished in World Rally Blue with a Blue Lux Suede interior, Imprezas in this condition rarely appear and, with the cachet of the Richard Burns connection, it’s a must for any enthusiast or collector.
