2007 SUBARU IMPREZA GB270

KEY FACTS

• One of only 100 limited-edition Impreza GB270 Sport Wagons with low mileage.
• Under the bonnet is the turbocharged 2.5-litre flat-four engine, producing 266bhp and 310lb-ft of torque, coupled with a Prodrive quick-shift five-speed manual transmission.
• It benefits from a comprehensive service history at a single main dealer, and remains unmodified.
• The car was in single private ownership for the first 13 years, and was acquired by the vendor in late 2020.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• The GB270 was made available only in Blue Mica or Urban Grey Metallic.
• It is fitted with the Prodrive Performance Pack, for a 40bhp power boost and a reduced 0-60 mph time, down from 5.9 to 5.3 seconds.
• Its lowered suspension, quick-shift five-speed manual gearbox, anti-roll bar, stainless steel mesh grille and bespoke 18-inch alloy wheels were all developed with Prodrive, while the cabin features an individually numbered plaque, indicating that this is vehicle number 97 of 100 Sport Wagon cars built.
• Other features include bespoke carpet mats, a Momo ‘Air-Race’ gear knob, a rooftop spoiler and waistline rear wing, and an STI-style front lip.
• The original owner’s manuals, service book and sales brochure are included.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its Urban Grey paintwork is in generally excellent condition, though the vendor has indicated that some early signs of rust are beginning to form around the wheel arches, as shown in the gallery. A few stone chips can also be seen on the front end and rear bumper.
• The original black leather upholstery is in great shape, with minimal creasing and no heavy wear, commensurate with the low mileage.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 24 September 2020 at 56,627 miles, which was a pass with advisories to monitor corrosion to the underside, front suspension arms, nearside rear inner wheel arch, and rear suspension components.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent scheduled maintenance was undertaken in September 2020 at 56,582 miles, where technicians at AF Noble & Son, a Subaru main dealer in Edinburgh, carried out a full service. The car has always been looked after by the same dealer from new.
