Subrau Impreza P1s turn Prodrive event blue

100 Impreza P1s descended on Prodrive event at Banbury, Sunday 9 May, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the car, which hit Britain’s roads in 2000.

A further 300 Subaru Imprezas and 1000 fans also joined in the commemorative event.

The car was one of the most iconic in a range of limited edition Subaru Imprezas which were produced by Prodrive during the late 1990s and early 2000s.  It was also the only road car to bear the Prodrive name.

The car was unveiled by England’s only World Rally Champion, the late Richard Burns, at the UK motorshow in 1999, but went on sale in 2000.  Only a 1000 were produced, all in the same unique blue colour.  The car was based on two door Japanese specification Impreza, but had significant modifications engineered by Prodrive to the suspension, drivetrain, trim and aerodynamics to make it one of the best point-to-point cars on British roads.
