There are plenty of reasons to buy an old Subaru Impreza. All-wheel drive, manual gearbox, a chassis that’s ripe for modification. There are even more reasons to buy a Prodive Subaru Impreza, namely that it’s a race-ready World Rally Championship homologation icon, the posterchild for stage rallying’s resurgence during the Nineties. And, if you’re going to buy a Prodive Impreza, you should definitely buy [this one](<https://mohr-klassik.com/colin-mcrae-subaru-impreza-wrc-1997-preis-auf-anfrage/>), because it’s Colin McRae’s old racecar.

Listed for sale through [Mohr Klassik](<https://mohr-klassik.com/colin-mcrae-subaru-impreza-wrc-1997-preis-auf-anfrage/>) in Böblingen, Germany, chassis No. 003 was McRae’s ride for the Rally Mone Carlo in 1997. It has all the WRC goods. Custom seam-welded monocoque, carbon kevlar body panels, turbo flat-four engine and six-speed semi-automatic racing gearbox built to endure abuses typically reserved for bondage dungeons. It’s a rare car—exceptionally rare, insofar as McRae neither crashed it, nor put it on the top step of the podium, which were generally the only two outcomes whenever he strapped for a race. Chassis No. 003 is blue and gold and wears 555 livery, as the [motorsport gods intended](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/178/light-em-up-racings-13-greatest-tobacco-liveries>). Did I mention it’s street legal?

So yeah, you should totally buy this old Subaru Impreza. Take it to a vintage rally, and drive it to a podium or leave it upside down and on fire in a ditch trying. That’s how Colin McRae would’ve wanted it.
