A rare model with exceptional pedigree, this example of Subaru’s Impreza WRX STi is from the Series McRae limited edition run. Created to celebrate the famous Scot’s first World Rally Championship - for both driver and manufacturer - the series was limited to 200 models, and built by Prodrive, the concern that ran Subaru’s WRC team. Presented - as all McRae models are - in Rally Blue mica, ‘N969 EYC’ also comes with the 2.0-litre turbocharged boxer engine famed for its use in the rally-era Impreza models, matched to a five-speed manual gearbox. Other details include the gold alloys, bonnet-mounted vent, and discreet rear spoiler, alongside small McRae badging large front fog lights for the full ‘rally car for the road’ effect’. Inside the five-seater saloon, the seats and door cards are trimmed in Subaru’s ‘confetti’ cloth, with Recaro seats up front.

Number 158 of 200, ‘N969 EYC’ has been well maintained and cared for, and offered in ‘superb condition’, according to the vendor. They rate the bodywork, paint, and interior as being in ‘good’ condition, and engine, transmission, and electrics as ‘excellent’. The Impreza has been declared as Cat C in the past, but the rear bumper area impacted has been professionally repaired since 2007. The mileage does not rise significantly each year according to MOT records, and is displayed as an indicated 82,000 miles. ‘N969 EYC’ is offered with a comprehensive service history and MOT until 2025, with a folder of invoices for work carried out throughout its time on the road.

• Rare special edition Subaru Impreza Series McRae
• One of just 200 examples made
• Meticulously cared-for

Introduced in 1992, the Subaru Impreza was a simple, practical, family car – offered as a four-door saloon, two-door coupe, five-door estate, and later on a five-door hatchback – with little about it to get the blood pumping and customers banging at the door of dealerships… until Subaru took it rallying. Entering the WRC with the Impreza changed Subaru’s desirability instantly, and multiple successes over many years saw the blue and gold rally machines sprinkle plenty of stardust over the rest of the range – particularly since Subaru’s rally cars managed to attract some of the finest rally drivers around. The Series McRae was one of a long-running set of special editions, based around the WRX STi, bringing rally-bred performance to the public.
