Lot details

Registration No: P15 KUB
Chassis No: JF1GM8KDGYG002623
MOT: February 2026

  • Number 116 of the 1,000 'Prodrive One' Imprezas made and a highly cherished example
  • Warranted c.23,275 miles from new with over 20 stamps in the service book
  • Original book pack, purchase invoice, MOTs, 2 spare keys and even fuel receipts
  • Stored in a temperature controlled Carcoon

Built at Subaru's Fuji Heavy Industries plant in Japan and honed by rally 'royalty', Prodrive, the Impreza P1 was always destined to become the hugely desirable modern classic that we rightfully see it as today. Built in a limited run of 1,000 examples, all were painted in Sonic Blue and using the WRX STi Type R as a base, Prodrive engineers installed the anti-roll bars from the European-specification Impreza Turbo, along with firmer springs and shock absorbers, to deliver a suspension set-up better suited to continental roads. They were powered by a revised version of the rally engine with re-calibrated electronics and developing no less than 280bhp, 69bhp more than the standard Impreza Turbo. The cars also featured ABS, as well as the Peter Stevens-designed anthracite OZ Racing wheels, front spoiler and rear wing.

A very exciting find, this Impreza is number 116 of 1000 UK-supplied, right-hand drive examples of the 'Prodrive One' (P1). Sold new on 1st June 2000 by Threeways Subaru, Aberconwy, North Wales, it was enjoyed sparingly with less and less use as the years went on and as a result the odometer displayed just c.23,275 miles at the time of consignment. For many years, our vendor yearned for a P1 to add to his significant private collection, and subsequently, he purchased 'P15 KUB' from a reputable dealer whom he knew. Ultimately, it was the condition that got his attention! The car presents as you would expect for such low mileage; even the original factory wax coating is still visible in the engine bay. Among the original equipment, the jack, spare wheel and tool kit are all present, as is the original radio. We are informed that the original wheels are very clean, along with original brake discs and callipers, all are supplied with the vehicle.

The P1 should be seen to be able to appreciate its overall condition, including the paintwork and the interior. Maintained in a temperature-controlled Carcoon away from salty roads and weather, it's hard to find an example of the Impreza P1 in today’s market, regardless of condition, so to find one so clean with this provenance is rare today. With soaring prices of Japanese Domestic Market cars, and some 22Bs heading north of £200,000 in recent years, this P1 may well be an unrepeatable opportunity, and is perfect for any discerning collector, enthusiast or purist. Currently part of a fantastic collection of pristine cars, the history file includes the car's V5C, the dealer book pack, with additional P1 literature, the service book with some 20 stamps, a number of old MOTs and even a small notebook logging fuel and petrol receipts. The cherished number plate reading 'P1 5KUB' is being sold with the vehicle.
