description

The S201 was a factory tuned car based on the GC8 Impreza, with STI putting all its know-how and expertise into creating a superb on-road sport car. Engine output was increased to 300 PS using both a special sport ECU and modifications to the intake and exhaust systems. Chassis performance was enhanced with reinforced suspension to adjust car height, a rear full pillow lateral link, and rear full pillow trailing link, while 16-inch forged aluminium wheels, developed jointly with RAYS were fitted.

The drive system featured a front helical LSD. In addition to a front aero bumper with integrated grill, a large air scoop, bullet door mirrors, side skirts and rear door spats, and double-wing rear spoiler, the diffuser-shaped rear aero bumper created a powerful form. As a result, this vehicle boasted a Spartan image in both its performance and appearance.

It was the last of the line for Subaru with this model and wow, what a statement they made.
I have been searching for this car for years and couldn't believe my luck when in auction was not only the rarest, but it was also the nicest of any Impreza being a Grade 4.

Supplied with a complete book pack and service information and a warranty of 3 months which can be upgraded to 1 or 2 years.

In preparation for sale, we sent this car to Roger Clarke Motorsport (Uk's leading Subaru specialist) with instructions to go through the car and replace and carry out works to make this the ultimate Impreza. RCM carried out the following at a cost in excess of £7000

Front top mount

Compared to the less powerful and less exclusive 22B this S201 limited edition 61/300 looks incredible value and benefits from being VAT Qualifying so exporters and collectors can reclaim 20% and pay taxes locally in their own country - a huge saving.
there will always be 22B's for sale but I doubt you will ever see another S201.

About Us:
Our promise: “We ensure you’ll find your ideal classic car.”
Just moments from the M25, or a 23-minute train ride from London Liverpool Street and the City, our Fairmont Sports & Classics showroom team in Brentwood is committed to changing the way classic vehicles are bought and sold.

Classic models across the decades

Our stocklist – with new vehicles arriving daily – spans popular and iconic vehicles from the 60s through to the late 90s and beyond.

Over two floors we present a curated selection of more than 50 sports and classic cars – plus several motorcycles – all fully inspected, checked and ready to drive away, delivered, or shipped overseas.

We buy well so you’re not at risk

The buying team comprises seasoned motor industry professionals: our backgrounds span retail sales, fleet management, auction, wholesale, and service, inspection and maintenance. Having grown up with, driven and loved countless classics ourselves, we know what our customers look for: models and marques piquing current market interest; examples that are in excellent usable condition and order; and vehicles that represent a sound, good value investment.

An online portal search for any classic model will list several hundred vehicles across the UK. The unfortunate truth is that the vast majority, under scrutiny, will prove sub-standard, misrepresented or require uneconomic restoration or repair. Finding a good vehicle without motor trade experience is not for the faint-hearted.

We purchase our cars from private owners, collections and specialist auction houses. We are exceptionally selective about which vehicles we buy, when and why; we reject over 90% of all those we see. Those we purchase match varying customer demands: ‘best in market’ and fully original; fully or partially restored examples; and sound, practical, fun classics to be driven and enjoyed.

Whether you’re an investor, an enthusiast, or simply keen to recapture your youth, we’d love to help you find your ideal classic.

Warranty:
We want every customer to be confident in their purchase. Whilst we sell nationwide, many of our sales are local, with some customers revisiting to buy, sell or service more vehicles.

To ensure a worry-free motoring experience, we include our own pre-owned vehicle warranty and provide full servicing and support on-site.

The price of every car includes a six-month warranty for major component failure: engine, transmission, and final drive. For the first three months, it covers the cost of any essential parts and labour. Thereafter we provide a 50% discount on any essential parts and labour for the remaining three.

We also operate our own on-site workshop offering specialist classic vehicle servicing, maintenance and repairs. The same mechanics that inspected and prepared your vehicle for sale will be delighted to keep it in good working order throughout your ownership.
