The Big End of Year Auction at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire

 
Lot 44
 

2003 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
***NO RESERVE*** Exceptional and unmodified example showing seemingly low mileage

Registration – YF03 PBN

Chassis No. – GGB-002224

M.O.T. – NO

Odometer – 48,000

An exemplary example of Subaru’s rally-bred WRX STI, this stunning import was brought to the UK from Japan on 1st August 2022 and, notably, has no previous UK keepers. The odometer presently shows just over 71,000 miles, however, as the first 53,000 of these were recorded in kilometres prior to import, the vendor informs us that the car has covered an equivalent of approximately 48,000 miles in total.

Finished in platinum silver metallic with trademark gold alloy wheels, this WRX STI presents in remarkably well-preserved condition throughout — a rare find in today’s market where so many examples have been modified or used extensively on road and track.

The interior remains equally impressive, featuring the distinctive blue Alcantara-trimmed seats, original MOMO steering wheel, and factory STI instrumentation. A modern Pioneer infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto has been sympathetically integrated, complementing the car’s original specification while enhancing usability.

Under the bonnet lies Subaru’s legendary 2.0-litre turbocharged boxer engine, complete with STI-branded intercooler and manual five-speed transmission, delivering the engaging performance and distinctive soundtrack that made the model so iconic.

Accompanying the car is a Subaru book pack, Japanese service and maintenance documents, import paperwork, MOT history, and two keys, along with invoices for recent servicing and preparation work undertaken since its arrival in the UK.

A clean, unspoilt and low-mileage STI of this generation is increasingly difficult to source. Offered without reserve, this example provides a superb opportunity to acquire a well-preserved, investment-grade performance icon from Subaru’s golden era.
