November 2022 Classics Auction
1999 Subaru Impreza WRX STI-Type R
Registration - T335 KCC
Chassis No. - GC8084907
M.O.T. - May 2023
Odometer - 100,770
This purposeful-looking STI-Type R coupe was first UK registered in May 2011 and recently recommissioned following seven years in dry storage. The cam and auxiliary belts were replaced, as were the engine and transmission lubricants, coolant and battery. The brake calipers and drilled and grooved discs were refurbished to original specification by Bigg Red, while the original alloy wheels were professionally re-powder coated in the correct shade of gold and shod with new premium quality tyres. Finished in white and trimmed in black, ‘T335 KCC’ currently registers a total mileage of 100,770km (62,616 miles) and comes complete with integral sound system and a current MOT valid to May 9 next year.
The Subaru Impreza (adapted from the Italian word impresa, meaning achievement) has been with us since November 1993, and was immortalized by the Prodrive-inspired run of WRC Constructors’ titles in 1995, 1996 and 1997, and Drivers’ championships for Colin McRae (1995), the late Richard Burns (2001) and Petter Solberg (2003). The model’s distinctive engine note stems from its four-cylinder ‘boxer’ engine that has good inherent balance and makes for a low centre of gravity. Capacities have ranged from 1.8-litre to 2.5-litre with or without turbocharger. The options of mechanical specification and trim levels have been numerous and have varied from country to country. The basis of the performance models has been the fourwheel drive, turbocharged WRX. In the late ‘80s, Subaru formed a division specifically to co-ordinate its motorsport activities; not least its assault on the FIA World Rally Championship. Dubbed Subaru Tecnica International (STI), it went on to create high-performance road-going derivatives of the WRX model, and the WRX STi remained the basis of the company’s rally programme from the time of its introduction in 1992. The first generation STi (1992-2001) was equipped with a turbocharged 2-litre version of the boxer engine.
In summary:
- Desirable coupe version of the STI-Type R
- Recently recommissioned following seven years in storage
- Currently registering 100,770 km (62,616 miles) from new
