thought you,d sold this m8?

 

what i sold was a v3. it went to a guy off here saturday.

 

Lol well it was white and had 3 doors nice car m8

 

thank you, im very happy...

 

Beading water, loverly... before they ban washing cars altogether

 

 

This one is even better as only has 2 doors.

 

how many doors has a Type R...
this was the last one that i sold recently

 

Thats not a "Limited" fella, Limted's started at Version 5.....I could be wrong but it looks like someone has just added a badge to the centre console.....Plus im pretty sure all "Limited's" were blue.

Nice car nevertheless

 

The V-limited type R's started at version 4 buddy.

 

The topic title and the badge say "Limted" not "V-Limted" Matt

 

No such car as a 'limited', it's V-Limited.

The only Type R's available at that time were,-

WRX type R V-limited,
WRX STI type R,
WRX STI type R V-limited.

 

Yes there is "Limited" is V5 and V6 "V-Limited" cars are V2, V3 and V4

Exactly, so why has it got a Limited Badge and not a V limited badge?

 

Kind of correct however..............

The V5 is a Limited, not V-Limited, due to the WRC not being won that year, so they were limited to production months rather than numbers

The V-Ltd and Ltd both had roof vents and were only available in 74F Blue

V4 Came in WRX and WRX STI V-Limited versions.

Its all on the Type RA forum including the original sales brochures

This looks like a type R with a number plaque fitted from another car

Still looks a really nice car though

Steve

 

Having said that i think there was a 555 Aniversary edition that was available in different colours and without the roof vent. The only colour i have seen in this model so far is yellow though ?

 

Cheers Steve.... Im sure we have been here before a couple times...

Yup, thats my thinking...

 

it was mentioned on a thread before i had....... cant find it though now

 

I'm struggling to find much info on that variant as well and the VIN plate doesn't help either

 

The Anniversary model was indeed yellow but that was a version 3

 

It's an sti type r

The limited badge is from an sti version 5 ra limited ...

 

The yellow car V3 was called a 'signature edition'. Only available in yellow with dark grey wheels.

 

The brochure has no mention of signature edition for the yellow one .. thought we,d been over this.

The only mention of signature is from the book you and your subaru impreza turbo which is full of incorrect info....

 

would anyone like a v5 ra plaque ?

weird why someone would do this. i have all import papers and pics of it in japan etc etc

 

nice car bud an best colour

 

Very nice car, looks a minter

 

who cares, looks a good 'un

long as you're happy with it

 

thanks gents, it is a really good example

why cant i find some good 16" wheels for it, i dont really want to look on fleabay...

 

The researchers of said book must of made that name up then,, seems a very strange thing to do don't you think

So the limited run of yellow STI V3 type R's wasn't a special edition then ?

 

Very nice!

I do like the Type R's with the lower level spoilers, dont stand out as much as the later higher level spoilers.

Autoart do a good 1:18 scale model of the Chase Yellow v3 Type R
