Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type R

This is a 1997 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type R, a Japanese-market homologation-flavoured saloon imported from Japan. The Type R was the road-going version of the STI programme, with a blueprinted engine, a higher rev limit, a quicker steering rack, four-piston front calipers and an intercooler water spray.

The car is finished in white and shows 101,192 miles. The dealer says the mileage is genuine and that there is no accident history. It also describes the bodywork, interior and underside as unusually clean and free of rust, with the chassis rails undented by incorrect jacking.

Drive is through a manual gearbox with an adjustable centre differential, which allows the front-to-rear torque split to be altered. Original JDM cars in this condition are increasingly hard to find.
