The vendor has provided the following:
- A true modern classic and a rare opportunity to own a piece of Subaru rally heritage. This 1999 Subaru Impreza RB5 is one of the limited-edition models built to celebrate Richard Burns’ success, making it highly sought-after by enthusiasts and collectors alike
- Finished in the iconic Steel Blue, the RB5 stands out with its aggressive styling, signature gold alloy wheels, and factory upgrades that set it apart from the standard Impreza models. Under the bonnet, it delivers the engaging performance and all-wheel-drive grip Subaru is famous for, offering a raw and connected driving experience
- With 180,000 miles, this example has been enjoyed as intended but remains a solid candidate for an enthusiast looking for a usable classic, a restoration project, or a future investment. These cars are becoming increasingly hard to find in any condition, and values continue to rise
Key Features:
• Limited edition RB5 model
• Turbocharged performance with AWD capability
• Distinctive styling and heritage appeal
• Strong enthusiast following
• Increasing rarity and collectability
