Number #173 of 200. Restored, maintained and cherished over eight years by our knowledgeable vendor. The Impreza Series McRae, launched in 1995, was the first. of many. limited-edition Subaru Imprezas. and. was created to commemorate Colin McRae’s first World Rally Championship win, for both driver and manufacturer, with the Subaru 555 World Rally Team. The build-run was limited to 200 cars a. nd they. were built in the UK by Prodrive and. all. were painted in Rally Blue mica. The specification included unique Recaro seats featuring open headrests, front wing and bonnet mounted badges and a numbered plaque on the centre console. .
This superbly restored example has been a real labour of love for the enthusiast vendor, the car has been the subject of a last nut and bolt restoration. The result is simply fantastic.
