Cant be a limited either as it does not have the blue speedo surround

Tidgy

haha,

type r = 2 doors
type ra = 4 doors

thats pretty much the give away to which model it is,,,, at least as far as r or ra, as said no such thing as r ra.

Tidgy

also how can it be a fresh import, when it was imported in 09 and has been to shows?

def dodgy seller lol

Thought the ra-r was on the hawkeye and hatch models

Anyhow fud it looks mint and if it's close still worth a trip to see it

Also theres a nice v6 type r on pistonheads running 450 odd and a nice white type r with a 2.3 conversion in it, think they are both members on here will try and dig the links out for you

Tidgy

Version 5 TypeR Vltd with a Version 6 P1 rear spoiler. (Its not a Ver6 car.) Though £7,295 is not a bad price IMO if car is as good as described.

I would also hazzard a guess that the below were carried out in japan & probably not all work done here in the UK:

•FULL HKS HIGH POWER SPEC R DECAT SYSTEM WITH OPEN NECK CERAMIC COATED DOWN PIPE
•HKS EQUAL LENGTH HEADERS FULLY HEAT WRAPPED
•HKS PERFORMANCE GASKETS FITTED ALL ROUND
•UPRATED OEM STAGE 2 TOP MOUNT INTERCOOLER WILL SUPPORT 400 BHP??
•CUSCO S/S INDUCTION PIPE
•17" LIGHT WEIGHT MAGNESIUM ALLOYS
•CUSCO LOWER STRUT BRACES WITH FULLY POLYBUSHED SUSPENSION SETUP
•CUSCO STAINLESS STEEL OIL CATCH CAN

It a Version 5 STI Type R Limited.

Link to translated brochure with thanks to the Type RA forum:

http://www.type-ra.co.uk/pdf/version_5_limited.pdf

The V in the title refers to 5 as in roman numerals!! This is where the confusion comes from. Before the version 5 they were known a V-Limited but from version 5 just Limited. But then Subaru decided to use a V instead of a five just to really confuse people

Im pretty sure it was the WRC Limited's that had the Blue centre console surround, blue speedo surround and matching blue seats.

My plaque says WRC 555 Limited (with an STI and a Type RA in there as well (can't remember the exact order)). I think they were just given this title on the plaques.

I'm pretty sure it was the V6's that had the blue surrounds.

........and yours has the blue bits Tim so makes it a WRC edition.

Subaru did make this confusing..

N_Scooby

No blue bits in mine Jay. Blue gear **** is an after-market (not the fabled titanium one) and the seats are from an STI Blob so have blue bits on them.

It is very confusing!!

I thought yours had the blue bits....fairone....shows how much notice i take Tim...

The V in "V-Limited" is short for "Victory" and is a limited model to celebrate winning something

Not associated with the Letter "V" for 5.

If they didn't win anything and brought out a limited edition then it was just a "limited"

It was shown on here a couple weeks ago.

I queried the "•UPRATED OEM STAGE 2 TOP MOUNT INTERCOOLER WILL SUPPORT 400 BHP"

Its more like a v3/4 tmic??

Great looking car though, far too expensive considering whats available for that sort of money now.

LUCKO

the words M MANAI and WEST MIDLANDS as a combination would put me off

Correct V6 WRC has the blue surrounds on the consoul & dash.

Dirk Diggler 75

The two front seats should be blue ...
Nice classic though....

type-ra

The version 5 Type R Limited didn't have the blue seats, however the RA Limited & STI RA of the same batch did.

None of the V5 Limiteds had the blue dash surround only the V6.

The V5 Type R was limited in production upto June 3rd not to 1000 units as the V6 Type R Limited was.

If you look in the sales brochure link I posted, you will see that Subaru refer to it as:

WRX Type R STI Version V Limited - In this case the V does stand for 5!

A Version 6 would be:

WRX Type R STI Version VI Limited

But a Version 4 would be:

WRX Type R STI Version IV V-Limited (Your Victory bit??)
