SUBARU IMPREZA 22B STi
BUILD NO. 383/400
AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF SUBARU’S MOST ICONIC ROAD CAR

£125,000 Roger Clark Motorsport restoration | Completed 2022 | Not driven since restoration

Some cars are built to sell.

Others are built to prove what is possible.

The Subaru Impreza 22B STi belongs firmly in the latter category.

Few Japanese performance cars have achieved the cultural significance, motorsport pedigree and collector status of the 22B. Created in 1998 to celebrate Subaru’s 40th anniversary and its third consecutive World Rally Championship Constructors’ title, the 22B was conceived as something far more special than a limited-edition Impreza.

It was Subaru’s road-going expression of its rally-bred engineering philosophy.

With just 400 examples produced, the 22B immediately became a modern legend. Its widened bodywork, distinctive rear wing, gold wheels, blue paintwork and formidable EJ22-derived powertrain created an unmistakable combination of aggression and engineering purity.

Today, truly exceptional examples are increasingly regarded as blue-chip Japanese collector cars.

And this is Build No. 383 of 400.

In 2022, this 22B underwent a comprehensive £125,000 restoration at Roger Clark Motorsport.

For those familiar with the Subaru world, Roger Clark Motorsport requires little introduction. The company has an extraordinary pedigree within Subaru performance and rally engineering, making it a particularly appropriate custodian for a car with the 22B’s heritage.

The scale of expenditure is significant, but perhaps more important is the supporting documentation.

A detailed folder of invoices accompanies the car, providing a clear record of the restoration work undertaken.

The car has subsequently not been driven since the restoration was completed.

This presents a rare opportunity to acquire a 22B following a substantial, specialist restoration while retaining the supporting paperwork to substantiate the investment in the car.

EXCEPTIONAL DOCUMENTATION & HISTORY

The car is accompanied by an extensive history file, including:

Build No. 383/400
Roger Clark Motorsport restoration
Restoration completed in 2022
No mileage covered since restoration
Detailed invoices documenting the restoration
Extensive archive of previous servicing and maintenance invoices
Previous MOT documentation
Substantial supporting history file

For a collector, documentation is every bit as important as the physical condition of the vehicle. In this respect, this 22B offers an unusually compelling combination of rarity, restoration provenance and documentary evidence.

THE 22B STi — A CAR THAT NEEDS LITTLE INTRODUCTION

The 22B occupies a unique position in Subaru’s history.

Unlike many later performance editions, it was never intended simply to be another high-performance Impreza. It was a celebration of Subaru’s motorsport achievements and a statement of what the company’s engineers could create when given the freedom to build something genuinely special.

The result was a car with dramatically widened arches, bespoke suspension, larger brakes, a close-ratio five-speed transmission, active centre differential and the legendary blue-and-gold visual identity that became synonymous with Subaru’s rally success.

Underneath the iconic bodywork sits the 2.2-litre EJ22 engine, developed specifically for the 22B and complemented by an upgraded turbocharging system and forged internal components.

The numbers tell only part of the story.

The real appeal of the 22B lies in the way it combines genuine motorsport DNA with the usability of a road car — something very few performance cars have managed to replicate.

A COLLECTOR’S CAR

Over the past decade, the market has increasingly recognised the significance of the very best Japanese performance cars of the 1990s.

The 22B sits at the very top of that group.

Its production number is exceptionally low, its connection to Subaru’s World Rally Championship dominance is genuine, and its visual identity has become instantly recognisable around the world.

As surviving examples are absorbed into serious private collections, exceptionally restored and well-documented cars are becoming increasingly difficult to source.

This is therefore not simply an opportunity to purchase another Impreza.

It is an opportunity to acquire one of the defining Japanese performance cars of its generation, with a specialist restoration behind it and a comprehensive history file to support the story.
