Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C Type RA-R

The Spec C Type RA-R is the most extreme road-going version of the GDB-generation Impreza STI, with thinner glass and metal, less sound deadening, a lighter battery, a quicker steering rack and larger Brembo brakes. It uses the 316 bhp turbocharged flat-four, driving all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.

This example is a Japanese-market import that has covered just 3,755 miles (6,044 km). It was built right-hand drive but has since been converted to left-hand drive by an official Subaru dealership, with the invoice present. The dealer believes it is the only RA-R in that configuration, though that is their claim rather than something verified here.

It was a one-owner car in Japan and carries a Grade 5A auction sheet, which is present along with the Japanese service book and owner's handbook. Since arriving in the UK it has been in dry storage, and an invoice of £3,800 for service work is included. It is finished in white over a black interior, with a Bullet exhaust (certificate included), an upgraded Recaro bucket seat, uprated Subaru-catalogue brakes, Toyo R888R tyres and Blitz and Defi instrumentation. The MOT runs to September 2027.
