Stunning, 276bhp, AWD, Gen-3 WRX STiĀ  'Hawk Eye' that's covered less than 7,000 miles from new.Ā  From the early 1990s through to 2008, Subaru enjoyed enormous success on the World Rally stage and the Impreza was the star. All-wheel drive, great acceleration, traction and brakes made the cars seriously capable performers. The WRX or 'World Rally Experimental' production car was based on the rally-winning Impreza and carried over many of the driver focused features and systems. The WRX STI was the top of the line version and in good hands it was a hard-to-beat carThe redesigned, third-generation (2005-07) Impreza WRX STI featured swept-back headlights that resembled hawk eyes and a three-part grille that looked like an aeroplane. Its front bumper sported a lower apron with an integrated rectangular grille for the intercooler and instead of the fog lights, it featured two body-coloured plastic caps with the red Subaru Tecnica International logo. The STI version featured a spoiler on the upper side of the rear windscreen and a wing on the boot lid. Inside, the carmaker kept the sports bucket seats with high bolstering and integrated headrests. In the instrument cluster, the tachometer took centre stage flanked by the speedometer on the right and the fuel and coolant-temperature gauges on the left dial. The STI was available in only one trim level, with the sound system on the upper side and the climate control dials on the lower side on the centre stack.Unlike the rest of the Impreza range, the STI version featured a 6-speed manual and an adjustable front and rear torque distribution dial for selected markets. Its flat-four engine provided a claimed 276bhp.Supplied to its first owner on 29th June 2007 in Ireland, this superb third generation ā€˜Hawk Eyeā€™ WRX STi is finished in World Rally Blue with a contrasting blue and black cloth interior with STi badging on the front seats. Under the bonnet sits the 2.5-litre EJ255 four-cylinder Boxer engine with single TD04 turbocharger which develops 276bhp and 289lb/ft of torque driving all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission offering enough performance and excitement for most buyers with 0-60mph achievable in 5.4 seconds.The car had its first service by Donnelly Brothers of Belfast, a main Subaru dealer, on 7th August at 1,148 miles and was used sparingly and then stored in a humidified environment until our lucky vendor managed to purchase the vehicle last year. He immediately set about having the car recommissioned by Paul Wray Motorsport of Strabane, a specialist in Subarus, making sure it was fully up to speed including all belts, brakes overhauled and fuel lines cleaned through, with the mileage then showing at 6,500. With just under 7,000 miles on the odometer it has been decided due to lack of use to let this fabulous WRX go to its next custodian. The car is totally standard and has had no upgrades or been chipped, super rare for these cars, and consequently can be regarded as collector quality. Supplied with all of its original documentation, book pack with folder, and both keys, it presents as you might expect from an example with such low mileage that has been totally cherished from new.Specification Make: SUBARU Model: IMPREZA WRX STI 2.5L Year: 2007 Chassis Number: JF1GDFKH37G069918 Registration Number: OEZ 2803 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 072428 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 6910 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Blue/Black ClothClick here for more details and images

The inside of a Lot may not be visible where, for example, it is covered by upholstery or material, and may not be original or may be damaged, have been damaged or poorly repaired.

6.3 No Lot may be collected until the Purchase Price has been received by IA and payments by a Buyer to IA may be applied by IA towards any such sums due from that Buyer to IA on any account whatsoever notwithstanding any directions to the contrary by the Buyer or his agent whether express or implied.

6.4 Title to the Lot will pass to the Buyer only when the Purchase Price in cleared funds has been received by IA.

6.5 Immediately a Lot is sold the risk shall pass to the Buyer notwithstanding that possession will not be given and title will not pass to the Buyer before payment of the Purchase Price.

6.6 The Buyer shall, at his/her own expense, remove the Lot purchased but not before payment in full to IA of the Purchase Price whether in respect of this or any other Lot. The Buyer must collect the vehicle or arrange for its delivery in accordance with the terms in the Key Sale Information in the Auction Catalogue.

6.7 It is the Buyers responsibility to comply with all export and import regulations relating to the Lot and to settle any applicable taxes and duties.

7. INSURANCE

7.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer. However, the risk in the Lot passes to the Buyer as soon as the Lot is sold to the Buyer. The Lot is sold when the highest bid is accepted by the Auctioneer. It is therefore the responsibility of the Buyer to insure the Lot from the fall of the hammer.

8. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PURCHASED LOTS

8.1 The Buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to a Lot they have purchased from when the Lot is sold to them. Neither IA nor its employees or agents shall be responsible for any loss or damage unless caused by the negligence of IA, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to IA if and in so far as the Lot is in IAā€™s custody or under its control.

8.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for all removals, insurance, storage and other charges on any Lot from the point at which the Lot is sold in accordance with the Key Sale Information in the Auction Catalogue.

8.3 Where applicable, IA will retain the V5C and notify the DVLA of the change of keeper as soon as possible following full payment of the Lot in accordance with clause 6.

8.4 Where imported Lots are subject to a NOVA declaration being completed IA will instruct the import agent to do this on the Buyers behalf, once full payment is received, and will provide the buyer with the NOVA reference number. These lots will be clearly marked in the Lot description.

8.5 Automobilia, watches & lifestyle Lots can be sent to the buyer at the buyerā€™s expense or collected from our offices in Warwickshire, by prior appointment.

9. NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT

9.1 If the Purchase Price is not paid in full, IA as the agent of the Seller, shall in its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following remedies:-

9.1.1 to store (either at IAā€™s premises or elsewhere) and insure the Lot at the expense of the Buyer;

9.1.2 to charge interest at a daily rate equal to 4% pa over Barclays Bankā€™s Base Rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date of and time referred to in clause 6.2;

9.1.6 to rescind the sale and refund any monies to the Buyer, or to rescind the sale to the Buyer and to purchase the Lot itself. If it does so, property in the Lot shall pass to IA on its election and IA shall remit the Purchase Price to the Seller within 14 Working Days of its election less the Sellerā€™s Commission, Expenses and sums due to IA which would have been payable had the contract not been rescinded;

9.1.7 to appoint a solicitor and/or other agent to pursue any of the courses of action referred to in this clause 9, and the Seller hereby authorises IA to take any of the courses referred to in this clause, including the issue and prosecution of proceedings on the Sellerā€™s behalf, and to settle claims and/or proceedings made by or against the Buyer on such terms as the Seller shall instruct, or in the absence of instructions on such terms as IA shall at its absolute discretion think fit. The Buyer shall be liable for all the costs incurred in any proceedings, negotiations or ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) including any shortfall in cost between those expended by IA or the Seller and those awarded by any Court or Tribunal.

9.2 If the Buyer fails to make payment within 14 days after the date and time referred to in clause 6.2, IA shall at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to re-sell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public auction or private sale, and, if this results in a lower price being obtained, the defaulting Buyer shall then pay to IA any deficiency, together with re-sale costs and any costs incurred in connection with the Buyerā€™s failure to make payment and any surplus shall belong to the Seller.

9.3 If the Lot is not taken away on the date and time referred to in the Key Sale Information in the Auction Catalogue, whether or not the Purchase Price has been paid, IA shall remove, store (either at IAā€™s premises or elsewhere) and insure the Lot at the expense of the Buyer and only release the Lot after payment of the total amount due.

5. BIDDING AND RESERVES

5.1 The Auction will be conducted in line with the terms and conditions.

5.2 A Contract of sale is made between the Seller and the Buyer on the acceptance of a bid by the fall of the Auctioneerā€™s hammer. IA is not a party to the Contract. The Buyer will be liable to pay the Purchase Price which is the Hammer Price plus the Buyerā€™s Premium and any applicable VAT.  At the same time the Seller will be liable to pay to IA the Sellerā€™s Commission plus any applicable VAT on the Lot at the rate as set out in clause 6.1 below.

5.2.1 Occasionally a bid may be accepted by the Auctioneer as a ā€˜provisional bidā€™ if the final bid has not met the reserve price. A provisional bid stands until 12pm the day following the auction. During this time IA will contact you to see if you will accept the bid or to try to negotiate a sale on your behalf. If successful the lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the fall of the hammer and the normal terms and Conditions will apply to the purchase.

5.3 The Seller may place a Reserve on any Lot when they consign it to the Auction, and once placed it may not be changed without the written consent of IA. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by IA in writing.

5.4 Where a reserve has been applied to a lot, the auctioneer and IA may in their absolute discretion place bids up to an amount not equalling or exceeding such reserve on behalf of the seller in accordance with the Auction Bidding Agreements Act 1969.

5.5 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, IA shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue.

5.6 IA may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that IA accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve.

5.7 Neither the Seller nor any person on their behalf (other than the Auctioneer) may bid on their own Lot. If a bid is nonetheless made, the Auctioneer may accept your bid and hammer the Lot down to you. You are liable to pay the Buyerā€™s Premium and applicable VAT on the Hammer Price.

6. COMMISSION AND CATALOGUING FEE

6.1 IA shall be entitled to deduct Sellers Commission from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 7.5% (plus VAT) of the Hammer Price for Motor Cars and Motorcycles, 15% (plus VAT) for Automobilia and Lifestyle goods and 10% (plus VAT) for Registration Numbers, or such other sum agreed by IA in writing plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to IA.

This fee is not taken into account when agreeing your Reserve ā€“ it will be deducted from your agreed Reserve.    

6.3 The Seller acknowledges IA's right to retain the Buyer's Premium payable by the Buyer.

7. INSURANCE

7.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer. However, the risk in the Lot passes to the Buyer as soon as the Lot is sold to the Buyer. The Lot is sold when the highest bid is accepted by the Auctioneer. It is therefore the responsibility of the Seller to insure the Lot before the Lot is sold and the responsibility of the Buyer to insure the Lot after the Lot is sold.

7.2 IA will not be responsible for any damage to or the loss or destruction of a Lot unless caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by IA, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to IA and the Seller shall compensate IA in full in respect of all other claims and proceedings brought against IA in respect of any loss or damage to or destruction of the Lot.

7.3 IA will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot or by the Sellerā€™s negligence, or that of the Sellerā€™s employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to IA.

8.4 If the Buyer fails to pay the Purchase Price within 14 days of the Auction, IA will notify the Seller who may instruct IA as to the appropriate course of action.

8.8 If within 7 days after receipt of the notice referred to in clause 8.5 the Seller informs IA that he wishes re-delivery of the Lot, he shall be entitled to do so but only upon prior payment of all Expenses and all legal and other costs reasonably incurred by IA so as to keep IA fully compensated.

9. WITHDRAWAL

9.1. The Seller may by notice in writing to IA withdraw the Lot from the Auction. In the event of such withdrawal, the Seller shall within 7 days of withdrawal pay IA the sums set out in this Clause 9. All such sums shall be payable to IA as remuneration for the services performed by IA down to the date of withdrawal, and not by way of penalty or liquidated damages.

9.2 In all cases of withdrawal, the Seller shall be liable to pay IA 15% of the mid estimate value of the Lot, notwithstanding that commission of a lesser, or no, amount had previously been agreed, to reflect the time, effort, loss of publicity and buyer's premium suffered by IA. In the event of a Lot having no reserve and therefore no estimate the Seller shall be liable to pay IA 12.5% of the auctioneerā€™s reasonable estimate. The fee shall be subject in each case to VAT and Expenses.

9.3. In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction, the Seller shall arrange for collection and removal of the Lot at his own expense within two working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless and until any withdrawal fee payable under Clause 9.1 and 9.2 shall have been paid in full.
