The vendor has provided the model of the vehicle to be a Subaru Impreza Gravel Express. Please confirm upon your own inspection.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • This is a genuine and rare GF8 GEX model classic Impreza turbo sport wagon
  • The GEX was a Japanese market model, around 440 were produced, some made their way to Australia and New Zealand, and a very few to the UK
  • It's reckoned there are no more than 9 in the UK
  • The GEX has a bull bar at the front, a wheel carrier at the back, and side and "side steps", along with distinctive Gravel Express graphics
  • The car is on adjustable coil-overs, but I also have the original suspension
  • The front seats were swapped for STI seats before my ownership
  • In the last year, I have replaced the battery, and the wheels have been refurbished
  • It has 122000 miles on the clock, I have owned the car for 4 years and have addressed any issues raised at MOTs, the only advisory left is a crack on the far left of the windsceen
  • The paint on the roof has sun fade / lacquer bleaching typical of Japanese imports, and the STI bonnet paint isn't great
  • There is some bubbling on the rear arches, but they are still at the repairable stage
  • Very rare, collectable classic Impreza find another!!
