Today on TopGear.com, instead of showing you a vastly expensive supercar that"s up for auction, or perhaps a Le Mans-winning barn find, we present you a slightly less upmarket car auction. Here"s an eBay listing for a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX, and frankly, not a minter.The original colour was grey, but someone"s decided to respray it bright red. Another person then decided to take Subaru"s famous all-wheel drive, decide they knew better, and throw the front half of the driving components in the skip. So it"s now rear-wheel drive. Oh, and the seller admits there a few dings and scratches and no warranty. There is a very good reason for this Impreza"s unimpressive condition, and the fact it"s currently asking just shy of $50,000. It was the hero stunt car used to make this year"s best film, in TopGear.com"s humble opinion: Baby Driver. And if you"ve seen the film, and the improbable stunts pulled by this very car in the stunning opening sequence, you"ll agree this thing"s a bargain. And quite lucky to still be in one drivable piece.
