Is it a Clio?

I've always been told that beauty lies within...

That interior is gash.

Thats the only genuine white P1. It was sold by a trader a few months ago for around £14k - £15k. I think its done around 60k miles and is now owned by a member of the P1 owners club.
The P1 is a Type R v5 and v6 variant, adapted to the UK roads and regulations and modified by Prodrive. All the others are Sonic blue, like mine. I prefer the colour of mine, but thats because I'm not a big fan of white cars. Saying that, it does look stunning and a real unique gem.

scutch wondering if u can clear sumthin up me bro was looking at a p1 but got told its an import is that true,also im looking at gettin the subaru rb5 i no its not a p1 but wat do u think of them? cheers

 

[AnyOldName]

P1 is not an import, it's the UK's version of the WRX STI.

 

[ColinG]

IT IS AN OFFICIAL P1. The prototype car, which came in white. The only one ever made in that colour.

22b was never a uk car

In late 1998, Subaru UK officially imported 16 22Bs (described below), and passed them on to Prodrive for modification. The UK cars differ from the privately imported 22Bs, not just in their 3 year factory warranty, but with revised gear ratios more suited to UK roads. The was acheived by changing the final drive ratio from 3.9 to 4.44 to lengthen the gearing. Cosmetically, the car got the headlights from the '99 model, UK rear light clusters and driving lights (not fog lights!) were fitted where the normal 22B has blanking plates. From the back, you can tell you're looking at one of the rarest cars in the world by the "Type UK" and "Prodrive" stickers. The price was £39,950, and demand for the cars was overwhelming.

Interestingly, Subaru UK were not able to put their 16 cars through the Single Vehicle Approval scheme because the maximum of 50 privately imported 22Bs had already been registered in 1998. Consequently the Type UKs were registered in 1999. The cars do not meet European Type Approval regulations for noise and emissions.

thats a type r 2 door they come in white

he has just put p1 bits on

Its not! its the prototype for the p1. ive driven it and almost bought it from worcester subaru/ listers garage. it was the one that the mags had. it used to belong to somone in cheltenham. it started life as a type R v5 yes but like i said it was the prototype for the p1. the p1 is basically a type R v5 but changed a bit for the uk market. Hence the p1. i was so close to buyin it but its had a hard life. very nice tho

 

[Dan R]

22b was never a uk car[/quote]
Yes it was! There were 18 or 19 uk 22b's officially imported as specific uk cars. Different final drive and a few other things!

 

[Dan R]

Fake, got the wrong seats for a start.

I'd go with the type r suggestion.

Its the prototype p1. I know it is for definate. It had done 38k when i looked at it. its always had the rb5 wheels on it too. until now.

 

[Dan R]

so does that mean theres actually 1001 P1's?

No there was over 1200 made actually! they were massively in demand at first so more were made and then they struggled to sell them???!!!!

 

[tommyboy]
