A rare model with exceptional pedigree, this example of Subaru’s Impreza WRX STi is from the Series McRae limited edition run.

Created to celebrate the famous Scot’s first World Rally Championship - for both driver and manufacturer - the series was limited to 200 models, and built by Prodrive, the concern that ran Subaru’s WRC team.

Presented - as all McRae models are - in Rally Blue mica, ‘N969 EYC’ also comes with the 2.0-litre turbocharged boxer engine famed for its use in the rally-era Impreza models, matched to a five-speed manual gearbox.

Other details include the gold alloys, bonnet-mounted vent, and discreet rear spoiler, alongside small McRae badging large front fog lights for the full ‘rally car for the road’ effect’.

Inside the five-seater saloon, the seats and door cards are trimmed in Subaru’s ‘confetti’ cloth, with Recaro seats up front.

Number 158 of 200, ‘N969 EYC’ has been well maintained and cared for, and offered in ‘superb condition’, according to the vendor.
