Hello peeps....sorry for the delay, I own number 57 in Silver registered in 2012. It was the Cossie used in the Prodrive 20th Anniversary Timeline.
I bought mine back in July, got it for a good price (as a few have been discussing there are deals to be done), including an extension to 3 years warranty, tax, METASAT points etc....
In my humble opinion, I have owned JDM's, WR1's etc....and this is a different bread of Subaru. I use it as my daily runner (already at 7500) and it really can be both an "down to the shops" or "scare the living **** out of my best friend" type of car. I am more than happy with mine and its kind of nice to have a little piece of history which makes me smile on my way to work each morning. Life can be pretty **** and in some cases short. So all the haters.....why spend £30k+ on a scooby? The Question really should be why not!

The current wheels are Rays gram lights 57G's in 18"
The car is currently in ''winter spec'' and will have different wheels when the great british weather gets a bit better.

Those wheels in the picture are the rays then? As they look like oz as juggers mentions
Also what size as they look bigger than the standard set, look like 19's?
Also and sorry for all the questions its just with your user name I assume it's yours, so how and where do you fit into the picture?
And if you could answer some of my previous questions from earlier,
What would the deal be regarding the warranty and dealer fit options that are on the way?
What power can the standard Cs engine run as it's been mentioned previously that there's some out there running more?
And related to the white one, what mods are on it over standard as it looks a peach and has the power of go with it to if what has been stated earlier?
Welcome aboard

Yes very much working 
that and I have just come back from a road trip to Germany and bit of winter sports around Nurburgring.
The Gram lights were the original spec wheel but supply issues from Japan forced us to go another route hence now they are the Pro 1.2 wheels.
The white prototype has full 5 axis CNC Cosworth heads with oversize valves, Cosworth high lift cams, Cosworth FMIC and Cosworth intake manifold. It then has a much larger even less restrictive spec 1 exhaust that we decided was too loud for production use and a few other little tricks top boot.

Haggle hard and you'll get the bargain of the century. But you must haggle hard... these are pre-registered cars that are coming up to a year since registration.
If you buy used make sure there is a "2" at the beginning of the number you pay.
Edit: There is also a delivery mileage one at Ian Grieve.

I was told a story by Unity that it was pre-ordered with deposit by a chap who won the lottery and intended to pay cash but for whatever reason had a sudden financial problem and pulled out of the deal.
I chose to buy another car ahead of that one for the same reason - didn't want a 60 plate.
