Question Aerials on import classics

Not an important question but, ive noticed some imports had the aerial on the left rear quarter and some had it on the offside front piller like the uk cars.

Was there any reason for the varying location? I thought it might be down to the age of the model but ive seen early models with it on piller and some later on rear quarter and vise versa.

Not important i was just curiuos!!

Thats a gd question mate, I dont know either. Ive seen RA '95 with them on the pillar, yet mine is a Sti VerIII '97 and is on the rear quarter. But then again ive seen UK '97 ones on the pillar....

Odd as you say...

On the Jap import WRX the aerial is on the A pillar until 94 then from95 onwards it was moved to the rear quarter.

Handy to know if you are looking to buy one, I went to see one that was advertised as a 95 as soon as I saw the back end of it I could see there was no aerial so knew it must be a 94 or older, it was in fact a 94
