...and just make sure you have nicely deep pockets because these are the Holy Grail of Suabru Impreza and are not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.

A good one will cost you some serious wonga!!

[scoobyslayer]

got around 25k to spend is that enough

[ajf]

25k will sell you mine
22b.com is great for tech stuff to do with any Subaru If you do go on look for neill think that's how he spells his username he normally knows what's about and what's for sale
SIDC will have a list of things to look for like chassis number range gearbox codes and other things

Theres this one for sale on Scoobynet:

I believe Nicky Grist was selling his some time back. That would have been an awesome purchase baring in mind the motorsport/rally connection and history.

I would take my time and then some before i took the plunge. The right car at the right price is out there. All good things etc... etc...

Good luck finding your dream

Try Keith Michaels (Gary Moulson) and A Plan (Clare Ironside) they are both Impreza specialists.

They are both completely different cars from different eras, and IMHO early impreza history is much more iconic and illustrious than anything in the last 10 years.

I think it's fair to say that another 10yrs from now remaining 22b's will still be fetching considerably more money than RA-R's, and for good reason.

[JimmyspecC]

Its alot of money to spend but I suppose it will only go up in value if kept in good condition.

The RA-R or a spec c are better cars but the 22b is pretty much regarded as king.

If you get the chance to buy one then do it.

And don't be afraid to use it - it's a car and meant to be used (not kept hidden away).

I believe the ex-wife has my old car sitting in a garage doing nothing but gathering dust/rotting away which is a crying shame for a fully sorted 22B (admittedly, won't be to everyones taste as it wasn't standard but still the best car I've ever owned and the only car I truly miss).

He's not looking to find one.

He obviously is just interested in the most special, most iconic impreza ever.

I remember when they where launched everybody was rather disapointed to find they were only 280bhp when dyno'ed
