Just looking on auto trader and found this v-ltd:

Auto Trader UK - SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI TYPE R "V LIMITED" RARE VERSION 4 FRESH IN FROM JAPAN NUMBER 264 OF ONLY 1000 MADE!!

Looking at the under bonnet picture the inlet manifold is unpainted, this has got me thinking if this is the original engine or has it been replaced? im thinking of going to have a lookieee.. any ideas?

 

im sure the sti has a silver intercooler as well?

 

privacy glass ?

 

Well, it doesnt appear to have DCCD, (you can tell by looking at the dash), but it does have the roof scoop and the manual aerial so, it is a V-Limited, but its not an STi V-Limited. As far as I know, Subaru made a normal WRX V-Limited (without DCCD), and an STi V-Limited....(which comes with DCCD)

The car in the advert is a normal WRX V-Limited

 

oooo.. well thats answered that lol.. shame

 

There was deffo a version 3 WRX V-Limited..... but didn't they drop the WRX V-Limited for the 4 series and just make the STi version?

Now where's that huge list of models that appears on here from time to time LOL

I thought these were considered to be 2 door RAs. WRX engine, no DCCD

About £1500 too expensive.

 

im sure I read that the wrx v-limited has the v2 sti engine cdb which does not have red manifold, but I have 96 v limited and thought they were only made 95-96. Im not sure if they ever came in sonic blue either only 555 blue which is what mine is.

this v-limited stuff is a minefield so please dont gun me down if im wrong

 

 

cheers guys.. soo a no go then!

 

A rare car.......always sold as the 2 door ra and due to the applied model code listed on most sites as a "special edition 2 door ra".........But Subaru marketed it as the Wrx type r v-limited.

 

they did a sti verson didnt they with CDB and dccd?

 

So how much is it worth then?

 

See my post number 6, after looking at the stuff I have at home they did carry over the V-limited to the version IV in WRX RA and R models. Sorry

It had low spoiler, Aircon, folding mirrors, special decals etc and was a rare car as rooferman has pointed out in post 11

It's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it

i have one of these

it drives like an sti type r only very slighty slower but comes with the bonus of having abs fitted

the model code says 2 door ra

 

There was one in the Wales section which was very well looked after and a 2nd car to the owner who was rebuilding a 22B so hardly shoe string budget.

I believe he struggled to get someone to buy it at £4500 and that was before the recent financial meltdown. If it was 4500 I'd consider it.

I would like to know if its any cheaper to insure than an STI Type R. If not then I would think you'd be better off buying the STI version. If it was cheaper to insure then it would probably be a good base for a project of some kind - blue RA seats, revised bumper and rear spoiler and you'd have a WRC replica for alot less money.

 

the one you describe is the one i purchased

Richard who owns the 22b was totally sound to deal with also

 

you selling

 

 

heheee

 

there is no 2 door RA.
