Bid for the Subaru Impreza WRC99 at bonhams1793, and you'll be cruising in the same car that once ruled the rally world.
. By 1999, the Impreza had a paddle-shift, semi-automatic transmission, a new Hewland rear differential and a larger turbocharger to further improve performance.The example driven by Burns and co-driver Robert Reid, T15 SRT, was built for the 1999/2000 Rally World Championship. It first ran in the 1999 Rally Sanremo, and was in fifth place before pulling in with a failed transmission.
Subsequently, the intrepid Impreza was sold by Prodrive to French rally driver Armando Pereira, the first of several who drove the car to first-place finishes in French and Belgian rallies. The car on offer was acquired by the consignor in 2018, who undertook a five-year restoration without regard to expense or complexity. The project was accomplished with NOS parts, including rare and original carbon-fiber seats and magnesium wheels.
