Subaru Impreza P1

Built by legendary the Prodrive outfit, the Impreza P1 holds a special place in Subaru history and, next to the 22B, is fast becoming the Impreza of choice for the Impreza connoiseur.

This 2001 example is number 924 of the limited 1000 produced featuring some desirable optional upgrades and has remained in completely original specification.

The Sonic Blue Mica bodywork is rust and dent free and the signature O.Z Prodrive wheels and unique P1 rear spoiler give this Impreza a massively aggressive stance. The P1 original P1 badges are still present and those in the know will spot that the brakes peeping through the gold spokes are not typical STI fare, either.

This car boasts the optional ‘WR Pack’ which consists of 18” wheels instead of 17”, and larger AP Racing brakes for better stopping power given the P1 boasts an impressive 2076bhp from its 2.0 flat-four turbocharged engine. Furthermore, DCCD was sacrificed on the P1 in favour of ABS brakes, so you’ll never be in doubt of braking performance.

As the P1 was built and sold only in the UK, Prodrive had the foresight to develop their own suspension set up, too, to best suit UK roads – just one of the many reasons the P1 is so revered.

The interior was also given the P1 treatment with unique Prodrive trimmed seats and mats, and a numbered plaque also adorns the centre console.

Critically, this P1 has a fully documented service history file covering its 86k miles with its last service being just over 1k miles ago.

This is a sensibly priced example of one of Subaru’s greatest ever hits that still impresses today.
