vehicle description:

This stage rally Impreza was prepared in New Zealand by Ray Wilson Rallysport for Japanese driver Atsushi Furuno, the main rallies he competed in were WRC rounds Rally New Zealand 1997 and Rally Catalunya 2000. It was registered in the UK in 2000, in 2004 the car ran in Listerine livery and competed in the Ancro Rally Championship. The cars had numerous top ten results over the years and won the Harold Palin Memorial rally outright in its current spec apart from having tarmac brakes fitted then, it beat some very expensive group 4 Escorts, Mitsubishi Evo’s plus 2nd and 3rd generation Impreza’s.

The car comes with 6x 15” gravel wheels OR 6x 18” tarmac wheels, the choice is yours, you can buy the other set of 6 for £400 if you so wish as there’s no point having the gravel wheels if you only want to use the car for track days. The gravel wheels are fitted with part worn 86RW Dunlop forest tyres. The tarmac wheels are fitted with part worn Kumho TW01 asphalt tyres.

If you don’t have room in your collection vehicle you can leave the spare doors behind or any other parts you wish to for that matter.
Negative points
The car has been rallying for a few years so does have the usual minor dents, scratches, marks etc, the paint work is not perfect and has been touched up here and there as you would expect on a rally car.
I haven’t put the car through an mot this year as the buyer may only want it for track days.
Speedo hasn’t been connected since the 6-speed gearbox was fitted.
Power steering pump is a little bit noisy but works fine, common thing on these.
Unfortunately no test drives as the car has no mot or tax at present but did run faultlessly last time out, only selling as I’m using a couple of old Fords this year.
 
Sold as seen with no warranty as it is a rally car after all.
Cash on collection only.
