Quoted from the Drive page on Saturday, June 24, 22B is one of the three prototypes made by Subaru. A total of 425 units were produced, with 400 units for Japan and the UK, as well as 25 other units for the Australian market.
Impreza 22B was created to commemorate Subaru's 40th anniversary and celebrate the third constructor victory in the World Rally Championship (WRC).
Not only Colin McRae, one 22B unit was also given to his colleague as co-driver, Nicky Gers. McRae's Impreza car has plate number S447YOX, while Grist's 22B has plate number S46YOX. Both cars are coded 000/400.
The car will be auctioned off by Silverstone Auctions at an estimated price of between 400,000 and 500,000, or around IDR 7.6 billion to IDR 9.5 billion. The auction will take place on Saturday, August 26.
