They do exist, ive seen one in the flesh which was owned by a guy who was on here before he sadly passed away due to illness 
and his was an immaculate example, I believe it went to another scoobynet member.
Pretty rare over here, and a nice car
Good luck with the sale

I'm still interested on an answer off 'Rikimaru' our resident Type RA expert...
At least I know I am responsible for his first post... It seems that this car is causing quite a stir on here judging by the amout of hits in such a short space of time...
Still ain't sold it yet mind...
So can I refer to it as a Type R RA V-Limited now or are we still waiting on an 'official' response???

Bloody hell, what has been going on???
As you have said correctly this does not come with DCCD and Intercooler Water Spray that the STi has.
It does however come as standard with a Low Ratio Group N Box, which makes this car very quick indeed with it's 280 BHP output.
Hope that helps, but anymore questions please ask.
Cheers,
Richy

I have seen this before.
Its a non-sti V-Limited 2door version of the WRX (non Sti) base RA.
Officially it IS a TypeR (although it was marketed as being based on the 4door WRX RA).
For verson 5, it was an established model and people did not need to know what it was based on. They also added the STI drivetrain.

Hi Guys, I was the one who built the engine thats currently in the car. I made a big mistake selling this engine to Richy! I was in the middle of doing a deal with a 2.5 engine when i sold the 2.0. The deal fell through and i ended up with out an engine for my car. The engine was an absolute beaut! I'd recomend this car to any1
Hope the sale goes well Richy
Regards
Craig

LOL, read the posts... 
It is what it is, if it was a WRX Type R V-Limited it would have had a WRX Type R V-Limited Chassis Number...
It is what it is and if you ain't interested in buying it, please don't bother posting up "I think it's this" posts, because deep down you ain't got a clue now have you???
Rant over, it looks like it is going to sell off Piston Heads so hopefully this post will die a death!!!

The chassis plate has been off the car, any reason why?

The chassis plate is loose, but it certainly hasn't been taken off the car in it's existance in this country (I know the only 2 owners it has had in this country).
I didn't want to re-rivet it, because I didn't want to be accused of changing it, LOL...
