Description
Border Reivers are delighted to offer this rare Subaru. Its 1 of only 1000 built for the Japanese market. The 555 Livery was a factory option which this car took full advantage of. The names offered were Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz however this car came with Piero Liatti which made it stand out from the rest.
The car was modified in Japan for local road racing & had evidence of a 3rd place finish sticker on the windscreen.
The Version 2 555 STI has the upgraded engine internals & head, it also runs a much shorter gearbox & rear diff for faster acceleration.
The car was imported from Japan in 2017 the images show the car going through the auction in Japan.
The 1st owner in the UK had the car professionally resprayed & decided he preferred the look of it without the decals
The 2nd owner had the car inspected by a former Prodrive mechanic to Colin McRae before purchase. This owner had the original livery reapplied by Dave Campbell who did the livery for prodrive on the 555 rally cars.
The 3rd owner did several upgrades to improve the car looks & handling. He entered the car at the 2019 Revival Rally Festival.
The current owner seen the car for the first time at the Revival event & subsequently made the purchase. He has continued to improve & upgrade with the addition of new correct period seats, wheels, upgrading the brakes, suspension, intercooler etc.
The car has been shown up & down the country & is a well known car in Subaru & Ralling circles.
The Special registration number is included in the sale (L555 WON)
The head cloth is signed by Nicky Grist.
It comes with its original document wallet & hand books unfortunately they are in Japanese. It also has a large A4 history folder from its UK owners.
With the price of 22B Subarus going absolutely bonkers this is so much fun for almost nothing!
