Subaru dealer Bulldog of Twyford believes it has found its oldest Impreza WRX STI customer in the UK.

Ron Bellingham, 77, took delivery of his new WRX, having previously owned the Impreza WR1, RB320, 2.0 and 2.5 version of the WRX with Prodrive performance packs and a Legacy 3.0 litre spec.B Sports Tourer.

Bellingham said: "I’m no boy racer, mind, but have been in the past.

"Your mum could drive the new STI to the shops with no problems yet when you select ‘super sharp’ mode it’s like lighting the afterburner."
