Condition
8
While the car has been well-maintained and cherished by the vendor for 18 years, the description notes that it has been driven and enjoyed, with some modifications made (TSL exhaust system). Although the car is in superb condition, the lack of paperwork from Motor House Servicing, due to a system error, prevents a higher rating.

Description
Built to celebrate both the marque's 40th anniversary and its third straight WRC manufacturers' title, the 22B STi was billed as the production version of Subaru's already-iconic two-door World Rally Car.
With its beefy front and rear arches increasing width by 80mm, a high-rise rear spoiler and the unique EJ22 engine, the 22B was as close to Colin McRae's rally car as any mortal was ever going to get.
It wasn't so much a homologation special but more of a road-going replica.
Often mistaken, the '22B' in the model's name is derived from the 555 WRC car sponsorship.
Five hundred and fifty-five is 22B in hexadecimal, the number base used in computer programming.
At the time, the IT world was booming and the Impreza was the icon car for the successful IT contractor in both the UK and Japan alike.
‘22B’ is often incorrectly referred to the engine capacity, which was increased from 1,994cc to 2,212cc.
The 'B', meanwhile, supposedly stood for Bilstein, the damper supplier.
