As far as I was aware the ariel is on the A pillar on uk cars and it's in the rear screen on sti's and imports. Mine has it in the read screen and originally from Ireland.

Thanks mate, just proves you learn something new everyday

Mine is a 53 plate bugeye so is one of the last which would explain why it's in the rear screen.

Speak to IM, they probably have details of all the Imprezas and when they were registered in the UK, as long as it isnt an import.

Nope! The bucket seats weren't guaranteed on later models either.
My Y reg bug WRX had airbag seats which I swapped for buckets out of a X reg bug WRX!

And it has an external aerial.
Search for external aerial on here and you should find my thread on it.

To solve the mystery, no UK bug STI should have an external aerial, nor any of the cars released after it came out. Read Shaun's post (last in that thread)

Evening all

I owned a bugeye many years ago and loved it. Was over the moon when I found the only photos even taken of it.

Does anyone know if this is still around? Hopefully in 1 piece, with a happy owner
