Subaru Generations Photoshoot 2016 South Africa

[TayeezSA]

Hi everybody,

So on 16 July 2016, I participated in a photoshoot capturing the Subaru Impreza over the years since its debut with a fellow enthusiast and working with a few photographers. Here's more of the story in this quote:

The Subaru Generations Photoshoot is the result of 2 South African Subaru Enthusiasts with the idea of capturing close to factory spec Impreza models like the WRX and STi models ranging from those first released in the country to those recently released, to show the transformation that has taken place.

The reasons for planning this photoshoot were (1) the passion for the Subaru brand, (2) the love of the WRX and STi models and (3) where these cars originated. It was also realised that “stock” models are becoming scarce in the country let alone the world and thought this would be a good opportunity to bring them all together as it might not be possible to do so in the next 5 years.

The search began for the iconic World Rally Blue STi for each generation, but unfortunately only 6 World Rally Blue STi's were able to be found within the Gauteng region. The rest of the cars included various colour STi's and WRX's. The showroom floor feel for each car needed to be captured, as well as adding trim specific number plate covers.

Each car had been cleaned and detailed to perfection by the enthusiastic owners, and the beautiful South African landscapes made the cars stand out so much more.

Various Subaru centres, clubs and communities around the country were contacted to find these models and had owners from all over Johannesburg and Pretoria join us. We even had a few owners who travelled from Secunda, Mpumalanga and Durban,KwaZulu Natal to be a part of this shoot. Subaru South Africa provided a great deal of assistance and support, and none of this would have been possible if Silverstar Casino had not provided their venue for the Photoshoot.
Tshirts and Number Plate Covers were made as well as a raffle to win an STI Performance Jacket were some of the key highlights for the event.

With that said. The photoshoot turned out to be a success!

Now there's A LOT of photos.
If you'd like to see ALL the photos, the Google Drive Link is where all of them are stored for everyone to see. If you want to just see the preview and full collection, the Flickr Collection is here .

Also, there's a little write-up here as well.


Here's a little taster of we caught at the Photoshoot. Slow connections beware.... So I've embed smaller easier to load photos. The full collection can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/144400485@N04/collections/72157671532657156/

Awesome, great pics! It's so rare to see unmodified Subarus these days. Makes me very sad that I sold my near stock STI.

Umm isnt the first one (top right) on the pic a 22b or the equivalent ?

Edit : My bad I look it up and I wasnt aware there was 3 versions of the 2 door, I thought only the 22b existed.

Oh that's the Version V Impreza WRX/STI Type R Coupe. It is similar somewhat to the 22B but the 22B had different bumpers as well as a widebody kit and many other additions.
