In celebration of this achievement Subaru worked with Prodrive and the designer of the WRC car, Peter Stevens, to create a special-edition Impreza for the UK market, limited to 300 cars - the UK300. Based on the WRX model, the UK300 was essentially a trim level upgrade with a list price of £24,995. The model provided the following extras over and above the standard WRX available at the time: While the cars were Prodrive-styled, they did not come with the Prodrive Performace Pack (referred to as the WR Sport Performance Pack in the brochure) as standard, instead this was offered as a £1,600 optional extra. Our example here is number 295/300 and is in fantastic condition. It has only travelled 18,000 miles and comes with a full service history including a recent cambelt service. Finished in World Rally Blue with a Blue Lux Suede interior, Imprezas in this condition rarely appear and, with the cachet of the Richard Burns connection, it’s a must for any enthusiast or collector. An excellent example of the special-edition WRX UK300, created to celebrate Richard Burns and Robert Reid winning the World Rally Championship in 2001. More Details Lot 149 Bid On Lot 149
