Subaru Impreza 22B STi

The Subaru Impreza 22B STi holds a median value of £160,500 in the UK market, down 1.5% over the past year despite its classification as an appreciating classic. The HOLD signal reflects stability rather than momentum, with the market showing neither enthusiasm nor distress at current levels.

Production was limited to just 424 units globally, a scarcity that anchors the model's Holy Grail collectibility score. The 22B's desirability registers as moderate rather than peak, suggesting that while supply is genuinely constrained, demand intensity has plateaued among collectors.

Our sample tracks five transactions over twelve months—a thin liquidity profile typical of ultra-rare Subarus in the UK. This scarcity of data means valuations rest on a narrow foundation; any single sale can skew perceived direction, and prospective buyers should expect limited inventory at any given time.

Cars tracked in this sample averaged 26,697 miles, indicating these examples remain relatively lightly used despite their age. Condition preservation appears consistent across transactions, with mileage clustered in a narrow band.

The base case projects modest downward pressure to £156,350 over three years and £155,052 over five years—declines of 2.6% and 3.4% respectively. This projection assumes stable market fundamentals without significant shifts in collector interest or economic conditions. The relatively flat trajectory suggests the 22B has found a stable floor rather than embarking on sustained appreciation.
