1999 Subaru Impreza Gen 1 WRX STi Version 5 Type R Coupe

A rare sight in Australia, one of few 2-door WRX version 5 cars, this example with only 7K km on the clock. The car was advertised on Gumtree Australia in October 2017, asking $55,000 (AUD), scheduled to be auctioned through Mossgreen.com.au.

In January 1999, the Impreza WRX STi Version V was released. Available as a two-door sedan and priced at AU$60,000, only 400 vehicles were imported by Subaru Australia for the Australian market, of these, it is believed there were only 150 delivered in white.

The car is finished in its original Pure White paint with gold-painted six-spoke alloy wheels. It was purchased new from Dave Nutter Subaru, Pakenham by the current owner. It has been kept in storage for the past 15 years but has been recently recommissioned with a full service.
