WR1 Owners Club

good evening
I move you move a little evening live from France and by the same opportunity to show you some picture of my Subaru's Petter Solberg
I can post them in this section for the Petter Solberg is a French version of the WR1
I stop talking now up to the image .

in snow , the last winter with is original rims









A few months ago with new wheels and Prodrive mud flaps











small view from the inside. I replaced the original car radio with a DVD player 2DIN and 3 stack pressure gauge kit

Hi there our french neighbour your car may not be a wr1 but i still love the look of your car as much as my own wr1 does it have the dccd gearbo
x?

My model is a limited series that was produced in limited edition (80 ex ) for the victory of Petter Solberg in 2003 as the WR1. goal is different compared to the English version. we says it's the little sister of the WR1 ( Unfortunately , less efficient than the WR1 ) sold only in France and Switzerland with a different with a different finish .
The difference with the English model is that it does not have PFF7, anti fog before, Prodrive performance pack and the front grid .
It is equipped with the DCCD . it has a plaque inside signed by Petter Solberg .
on mine I added the Prodrive Performance Pack and reproductions of PFF7.

Wrong, solberg's were sold in several EU country's !

yes you are right. I made a mistake sorry

solberg62 wrote:yes you are right. I made a mistake sorry

I have a one !

why you choose has a Petter Solberg and not a WR1? because when I look at the prices the selling price of used cars are the same and are more efficient WR1

Nice car mate, love the pictures, i think the original wheels look pretty cool aswell

Is there much difference in bhp between the wr1 and petter solberg edition?

yes there is a large difference in power. on Petter Solberg, the engine is the same as the original STI (265 hp )

WR1's were all presold when I found out about them, by more chance than anything we came a cross a new Solberg in a import dealer in Bristol, plus it was over £7k cheaper too, and last month was offered
£13k on a trade in, which is a lot more than some WR1 have sold for recently !

Nice pics mate, the new wheels look a lot better!

unfortunately is not real PFF7 because I do not know if it's the same in England but in France it is impossible to find the original PFF7. so I took the rims inovite that are for me the most realistic replica of PFF7.

I find more beautiful than the WR1 Petter Solberg so little by little I try to approach the WR1 (Petter Solberg English version).
for suspension, WR1 it is equipped with prodrive's spring ?

I think it has to then front splitter and can be the prodrive's shock spring .

ps: August 8 I can be a chance to see or cross the highway as a WR1 for the 2nd year we will vister Prodrive in Banbury.

PS2: Sorry for my English, I try to get by but hey it did not necessarily perfect

Are you staying in UK for long ?

We have a WR1 event the following week at Bruntingthorpe.

forum/viewtopic.php?t=12964

sorry I was born to not attend because I'm in England just one day. I arrived in Dover 9:15 a.m to 1:30 p.m the visit and I back the boat to return to France was 11.00 p.m
I shall be returned to England to come to the meeting but WR1 few hours after my return to France, I became head of Germany for a few days at the Nurburgring.
by cons if I just come to another meeting I will come with pleasure.

Same as me 1mposter! When i went to get a wr1 they were all sold. Then by chance 2 became availble due to cancelled orders. I had one straight away and the price of last one remaining in the UK was hiked up to 33k by the dealer!! Not sure if he got that for it. How times change! In the economic climate we are in now Subaru cant give the half the Cosworth STI's away!!
I dont see them hiking the last few up to 53k do you!
PS; Welcome my french friend and nice car

Hello and welcome mate, love the pics

Cozzy - i'm led to believe mine was the last one in the dealer network and I have the original invoice - it did not sell for 33K

Arrrr! I did have to wait a few months for them to come up as cancelled orders. It was towards the end of 2004 if i remember correctly. Anyhow glad you did pay a 3k premium!! BTW Matt have registered with JPOC and will now vote for your 1

Thanks chap - Ive only had my one for a few months but the last owner had it from new and the top bloke kept every piece of paperwork

thank you for the welcomes. I read him your compliments will be happy

The downside of Petter Solberg owns a plaque signed but not numbered. everything I know is that they were sold to 80 copies. I find it a shame to not having done dialing.
Petter Solberg in France in 2004 with about 50,000 miles in good condition sells for between £ 17 000 and £ 19 000 .
