1999 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type R Version VIThis remarkable JDM-spec Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type R is a rare and highly original example of one of the most desirable GC8-generation performance icons. Finished in its original factory paint and showing 147,300 km, it has been cherished by the same enthusiast owner for the past 18 years.Imported directly from Japan in 2008, this Type R retains its factory bodywork with no accident history or panel repairs, and has been protected with professional anti-corrosion treatment by Auto Old Timer (Jan Widłak, Łomianki).Power comes from the 2.0-litre turbocharged boxer engine producing 280 hp, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and Subaru’s legendary DCCD all-wheel-drive system. A professional conversion to left-hand drive was carried out in 2009 by DCw Classic, carefully retaining the original semi-automatic air conditioning, DCCD functionality, and airbags – ensuring both authenticity and practicality.Notable features include a Q-rack 1.9 LTL steering system, el-tec stainless steel exhaust with catalytic converter, 17-inch Prodrive Pero-R limited edition Speedline ST2 wheels, HKS EVC-S boost controller, and the rare factory aerodynamic elements applied to late-production models.The car recently received a new elastomer body coating, new tires, and a new battery, and remains in exceptional mechanical and cosmetic condition.Service has been handled by well-known Subaru specialists, including Janek Kornecki (formerly 4Turbo).A truly collectible example of the GC8 Type R – combining originality, provenance, and careful long-term ownership.
