Typo maybe

Typo maybe

Don’t think so mate - look at the mileage - awesome awesome awesome car.

 

[Mr Burns]

That place is on crack with its prices, and that Mini 'Cooper S' is completely the wrong spec for the year.

And 8 former keepers for a 1600 mile car. Cant see that many people buying it just to look at it.

 

[Martin.]

I'm calling a type too for sure.

 

[adamlstr]

This isn't a typo, it's 300k.

Absolutely nuts.

 

[Ant1]

They seem to sell the cars though so doing something right.

Yes they do mate. Did you see the P1 they just sold.
Has he finished his red TME yet? Awesome build.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Wow.

I always wanted a 22b. It's the ultimate road-going Impreza, but I think that dream is now very much out of reach

It's a huge sum of money, that's for sure, but where are you ever going to find another like that I guess. It wouldn't surprise me if someone pays it, but I think it's extreme personally.

That place is on crack with its prices, and that Mini 'Cooper S' is completely the wrong spec for the year.

Unless you've got a literal library of documentation to accompany an old Mini you're a f**king idiot to part with strong money for one.

It's almost accepted that most have been re-shelled, some idiots even claim that cos Rally teams often did it when they crashed then it's par for the course?
A good number are nothing more than flat-pack classics as well. ID tags and V5 bought off eBay and slapped onto the body of a base-spec car with the Cooper S stuff sprinkled on top.

 

[Speedy300]

Nearly £300k for that!! WTF

 

[Darren S]

It's a very weird predicament to be in with that. Even with money to burn - £300k for a car that although extremely nice, was simply a special model Scooby is a bit insane.

And if you had £300k to blow on a car - would you really be looking at a rally-inspired 4-door saloon car?

Surely for that price it's going to remain a garage princess for the next several decades - devoid of stretching its legs and being thrashed about for fear of reducing its 'value' by 90%.

 

[plenty]

By this point it's no longer comparable to a car in any practical sense. It's more like a painting, a sculpture, or a piece of jewellery.

 

[frayz]

I remember when literally every 22B on the planet was £25k 😂
Nothing special to drive either.
£300k... bargain, put me down for 2 😁

 

[McGherkin]

Jesus. I can see why they demand that kind of money but christ that's a lot for an Impreza. You could have a couple of genuine WRC Imprezas for that price.

 

[Mr Burns]

The car belongs in a Subaru heritage museum or something like that. I can't see anyone paying that then driving it. As Plenty said it's too special to be a car any more.

Exactly this.

And as for who’d buy it, well I would if I won the euro millions. I’d have a collection of 80’s-00’s rally bred cars as art and duplicates to drive.

 

[adamlstr]

Jesus. I can see why they demand that kind of money but christ that's a lot for an Impreza. You could have a couple of genuine WRC Imprezas for that price.

You could have three useable 22Bs for that price.

 

[Krarl]

Find another 22B with delivery miles

It just doesn't ever happen and it will be a "holy grail" car for the rest of its existence. It's clearly a collectors item and a garage queen at this stage, nothing more and nothing less. People pay millions for dogshit art, these are the same mugs who buy these cars

 

[Pistachio]

If I did win the lottery I'd buy that and thrash the s**t out of it just to piss off the collectors

 

[imprezaworks]

If I had millions in the bank I'd drive it. If I had 300k in tht bank, I wouldn't

 

[Jon46]

An old family friend bought the original UK press car, I wonder if he still has it and what mileage it’s at now?

That’ll end up in a collection, then reappear in 10 years for £500k 🤪

 

[Clio_fool]

And if you had £300k to blow on a car - would you really be looking at a rally-inspired 4-door saloon car?

It's a 2 door, so rrp would have been less than a 4 door. 🤣

 

[Mr Burns]

From a personal point of view, pretty much everything in this shed is more special than that Subaru, and most are much cheaper!

 

[Mr Burns]

Edit - There's even a 22B there, much cheaper.

Does Dogshit art have any swirls or has it been polished ?

 

[Krarl]

100% polished

Every. Single. Weekend.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

A YouTuber I know has made a video of it:



It's basically a new car. Amazed some of the delivery stuff has survived. You could never drive it really, would ruin it.

I'd rather have a 'worse' one methinks, so I could actually drive it.

 

[Waitey]

The 400km one in Japan sold for £87k, so this one is a bit of a reach.....

 

[whereislee]

pricey but unique non the less, most priceless of them all is sitting in Japan at Subaru HQ number 000
