Described as “The Subaru from Hell” by Car & Driver, the 1998 Impreza 22B STi was imported to the UK on an extremely limited basis to mark Subaru’s fortieth anniversary. It cost around £40,000 new (the equivalent of £63,000, $90,000 or €79,000 today) and now one, which was owned by the boxer Prince Naseem Hamed (نسيم حميد), is now due to be auctioned.
