Prodrive engineers fitted the anti-roll bars from the European-specification Impreza Turbo, along with the firmer springs and shock absorbers, resulting in a superior suspension. Power came from a revised version of Subaru's legendary rally-bred 2.0 litre turbocharged flat-four engine featuring recalibrated electronics/engine management and producing an impressive 280bhp, a substanital 69bhp increase over the standard Impreza Turbo. Completing the package is ABS braking, anthracite OZ Racing alloy wheels, and distinctive bodywork styled by Peter Stevens, designer of the McLaren F1. A deeper front spoiler, prominent rear wing, coloured-coded mirrors, door handles, and side skirts give the P1 unmistakable rally-inspired stance. Driving visibility is enhanced by the iconic Hella 90mm driving lamps, again lifted directly from the World Rally Car.
A very exciting discovery, this Impreza is number 827 of 1,000 UK-supplied, right hand drive examples. It was first registered on 5th September 2001, having been supplied new by Subaru main agent, Donalds Garage Peterborough. The car's maintenance record is excellent, boasting a complete service history with all the stamps present in the original service book. Recent works carried out in November 2025 at 72,410 miles totalling £2,014 includes the oil filter, fuel pump and filter, rear differential seal outer left and right, rear differential oil and drain plugs, air flow sensor and throttle gasket, idle control valve and front anti roll bar links.
Stored in a temperature-controlled garage and kept well away from salted roads and adverse weather, this example remains in excellent condition both cosmetically and mechanically. Finding an Impreza P1 of any standard has become increasingly difficult in today's market and discovering one with such outstanding provenance, low ownership and a complete service history is exceptionally rare. With Japanese performance icons continuing to soar in value, his P1 represents an unrepeatable opportunity for the discerning collector, enthusiast, or marque purist. Currently forming part of a private collection, the car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file including the V5 registration document, original dealer book pack, service book with 15 stamps, a folder of supporting invoices and the rare Prodrive-tailored carpet mats.
