"Ordinary Impreza Turbos sort of tweak playfully with the edges of the laws of physics. The P1 sits down and rewrites them" (Car magazine).

Aerodynamically honed by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame and based around a lighter and stiffer two-door bodyshell, the limited edition P1 had more in common with the legendary 22B than its lesser four-door Subaru Impreza WRX siblings. Developed specially for British roads by the company which helped Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg become World Rally Champions, the Prodrive One was intended to counter a wave of 'grey import' STi Type R cars coming over from Japan. More relaxing and forgiving to pilot than a Type R thanks to taller gearing, more compliant suspension and ABS brakes, with 276hp and 253lb ft of torque the P1 was nonetheless capable of 0-60mph in 4.66 seconds and 155mph.

Some cars are epoch-defining, and the high-performance versions of the Subaru Impreza fuelled the dreams of an entire generation of rally enthusiasts, not to mention the children of the ’90s and early 2000s who discovered the joys of motor sport through Gran Turismo and Colin McRae Rally. How many of those children had a poster of an Impreza exactly like this P1 on their bedroom wall, we can only begin to imagine…

Indeed, this very machine, one of just 1,000 P1s produced, still appears as something of a pin-up car on account of its truly outstanding original condition. Having covered only 68,000 miles from new with one very sympathetic owner, its appearance is hardly that of your average 25-year-old car. Originally sold through Subaru agents Farmers Garage Ltd. of Matlock, Derbyshire, on 9th May, 2000, and registered ‘W687 PTV’, the Sonic Blue beauty cost the considerable sum of £30,915 from the showroom floor (not including the £400 charged for delivery and £180 for twelve months’ tax). Since then, it has been well and truly cosseted by its owner, who has consistently returned to Farmers Garage to keep the car maintained and in the best of health.

Having only seen occasional use, the Impreza has survived very much as it left the factory, and retains a whole host of original features which have been lost from so many of its sister cars. Among the original equipment still present with ‘P14 BEW’ (the personalised number was issued in 2002) are a stereo radio-cassette player with the optional under-seat CD player, fog light covers, Prodrive floor mats and boot mat, both spare keys with original fobs, an immobiliser with security PIN, the plunger pack for removing the radio, the jack and jack bag, a coat hanger, and optional extra-cost P1-embossed exhaust tips. We need hardly mention that the interior is original and as-finished by the factory.

The Subaru owes its excellent condition in part to the fact that it has been garaged all its life and only ever run on super unleaded fuel. The vendor has never failed to keep on top of servicing, as evidenced by what is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding service records we have ever seen. Impressively, it was serviced twice during 2000, four times during 2001, thrice in 2002 and 2003, twice annually from 2004 to 2009, and annually from 2010 onwards. These included Waxoyling in 2003 and 2007 and a timing-belt change in 2009, but what is most remarkable is the fact that every single one of the forty services was performed at Farmers Garage. The car had the bulk of its use up to 2011, when it reached 60,000 miles. Covering only a few hundred miles a year since then has brought the total mileage to just a shade over 68,000.

By this stage, it should not come as any surprise when we mention that the Subaru has an especially comprehensive history file, including the V5C showing no former keepers, the original book pack, the original sales invoices from Farmers Garage, every single MOT from its very first test in 2003, and an invoice from every service. The current MOT is valid until April, 2026, and the vendor, who was in his sixties when he purchased the car, is only selling it as he now prefers something a little more sedate. This is truly one of those cars which, if you could not inspect it with your own eyes, would defy credulity. The Impreza P1 was one of the greatest performance cars of its era – arguably the greatest sports saloon – and this has got to be one of the most original and best-preserved survivors.
