Subaru Impreza 22b - £20k to 500k!! What’s the next huge Appreciating Modern Classic car??

What an incredible Subaru Impreza 22b Journey and maybe values will not stop here, could they reach the 1 Million Pound mark one day!
I sold my last 22b for 23k in 2004! It was a real push to buy back in at these at the huge prices but it has paid off massively and I have 2 of my favorite cars now.
What are your thoughts on the next 22b classic? Are we at the end of these amazing value increases...
I hope you enjoy these videos and look forward to making more soon.
Richard

Low mileage Mk4 golf R32 sold for 104 thousand dollars in the states last year on BAT. Porsche Mezger manual cars and also late Lotus Esprit with late dash are worth a watch.

[@Challengetheroad]

I saw an r32 at the car meet today - they do look good

[@mountain_walker]

Agreed with Mezger Manuals. It won’t be worth big money as too many were made, but the market are definitely sleeping on 996 Turbo Manuals. It’s done all the depreciating it’s likely to do. It has a Mezger engine. They will go up as really good ones get harder to find.

[@seamusburke3717]

All the way for a mk4 Golf R32. Has to be the launch three door blue though.

[@keyo525]

@@Challengetheroad Very low numbers as well- only 2k units sold in the Uk and 10 thousand worldwide, only sold 46 red ones in the UK and they look really meaty with the factory body kit and factory OZ alloys- nice Konig buckets as well- great package.

[@birdy3934]

Look for R32 for sale in Japan. Cheap!

[@V3StiRa]

Great video Richard! Any of the pre Newage Imprezas are all something special in my eyes. Just a true drivers cars that makes you feel so connected. I’ve been lucky to own a few over the years and still do! They are addictive, Beware! And Richard! Can you do anything with the P1 prices? I’ve got a nice rust free one I’m flogging here in Spain 🇪🇸 😂 Cheers mate.

[@luketaplin42]

Love this video Richard you definitely made the right decision on the Subaru 22B The 22B has legendary status from that period Other rally cars /road cars like Toyota/Mitsubishi/ford will never get close to the 22B I’m from the same generation as you and cars from this generation are just special. As for the future investments I’ve no idea personally I like a manual gearbox so much more involved when driving. I absolutely love the last of the air cooled 964 Porsche and the turbo what a car. Yes new Porsche’s are faster track ready etc but from a driving experience bet it’s more enjoyable on a B road around here where we live

[@Flatmat]

I have restored a 1999 UK (one owner) Turbo and have tucked away a JDM 2-door Type R v5. Love em…

[@bla855]

Impreza Version 2 Type RA in white only 840 built and they are the real homologation group A rally specialist

[@paul106xsi]

I think any sort of low mileage, limited run golf gti are going to shoot up once VW stop priducing the new model. 30th anniversary, clubsport etc. The 2009 Focus RS will go the same way, as that was pretty special. Probably not £200k, but enough that they would be good investments. Also Impreza RB320.

[@ChasingCars71]

Lotus Elise Sport 160 - limited production run of something like 337 made. Find an original one with sensible updates - suspension etc and i think that could be a winner. Probably the prettiest Elise as well.

[@futurenewmedia]

A late JDM RX-7 Type RB unmodified finished in PR laugh Innocent Mica Blue is a good base bet. Made around 400 units and few left with a strong following especially in the US. A 1999 just hits the 25 year spot. Back in 1995 I traded a year old 968CS for a new UK RX-7 with Wilmslow Stratstone whom were both Porsche and Mazda dealers at the time. I remember still now just how much better the RX7 was but unfortunately the rotary engine shat itself. A great garage car if you can find one 👍

@@Challengetheroad Cleary something I’m 💩at! Sold my one owner Focus RS500 with 1200 miles at £40k in 2014, one with low mileage went for I think £100k recently🤦‍♂️

[@rcleg4522]

Why not have purchased the P1 to drive ? Whats the enjoyment factor a 22b has over that? Was never into these cars and know the differences.

[@Challengetheroad]

Hi - if you watch the Jayemm video, I had a big crash in the p1 and lucky to survive. I think without that I would have one now.

[@rcleg4522]

@@Challengetheroad Fully understandable. I had an accident on the track and had total brake failure in an open top car and another racer went over the top of my car, I never got on the track again. It didn't stop the love for cars, I just changed to liking big old Suv's. I love the old series G wagon, they are a total pig to drive, but so much character you can't help but enjoy them and you feel indestructible.

[@chappardababbar]

I think M3 CSL still has a loooong way to go £200k+ is easy I think

[@Challengetheroad]

I have been considering the Manual conversion for the CSL would be great then.

[@alcam100]

@@Challengetheroad I don't know if you've spent much time in one, but if you drive it on the paddles rather than as an automatic, they're pretty good, and thats coming after driving my other garage treasure, an Integra Type R. You're welcome to drive mine, anytime.

[@jonnyc5254]

M3 CSL could be a decent bet. Evo 6s are still good value and even the Makkinen edition can be had for reasonable money especially if it's not in red which command a premium.

[@topmarques]

Honestly, you're so intent on making money you miss the point. I question if you actually have the ability to know the difference between an epic car and a good car. Keep being smug about your Subaru purchase; most people I know really don't like the car; it's a cheaply made car that is quick but forgettable.

[@Challengetheroad]

Appreciate your comment but you are wrong.
