2005 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX PRODRIVE PERFORMANCE PACK

KEY FACTS

• A fantastic, low-mileage example of the Japanese performance saloon, presented in excellent condition and enhanced via the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP)
• Under the bonnet is the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder boxer engine, which sends 261bhp to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.
• The odometer displays just 11,758 miles from new.
• An original UK car, first registered in September 2005, this ‘Blobeye’ Impreza WRX was acquired by the seller three years ago, and has covered only 500 miles since.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Impreza WRX benefits from the dealer-fitted Prodrive Performance Pack. Comprising a recalibrated engine management system, a high-flow intercooler hose and a stainless-steel exhaust silencer, this boosts the car’s power output from to 221bhp to 261bhp and increases maximum torque by 16% to an impressive 257ft lb.
• While Imprezas are often used as a platform for extensive modification, this example is original and unmolested, and even features its original stereo.
• Finished in the Subaru’s signature hue of World Rally Mica Blue, it features a grey cloth interior and rides on a set of 17-inch OZ five-spoke alloy wheels.
• The car will be supplied with all of its original handbooks.

CONDITION

• Believed to be entirely original, the World Rally Mica Blue paintwork is in excellent condition, with a smooth and glossy appearance, and no notable marks, chips or scratches.
• All four wheels are in great shape, though there are very slight scuffs on the rims of both driver’s-side wheels and the rear passenger-side wheel, which the buyer may wish to have refurbished.
• Inside, the cabin presents especially well, with no signs of wear to the grey cloth upholstery of the bucket seats, the black leather-wrapped steering wheel or the interior plastics.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 11 January 2021 at 11,710 miles, resulting in a clean, first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Impreza’s most recent routine maintenance was a full service including replacement of the cambelt, which was carried out in December 2018 at 10,936 miles.
• Prior to this, it was serviced in April 2016 and October 2006.
