Gotta say that's a very nice classic, and yes there very rare only ever seen one in UK before, and that was vinyl wrapped in white, that's only other one I've heard of.

Only advise is don't touch it, unless its a 2.0 turbo conversion, which on most i'd say don't bother, but on that can only see it increasing the value

How much did you buy it for may I ask?

Type r shell's sell for £2500+ so that's a good start, if you ended up spending £2500 on engine still think it be worth 5k, type r's are going up and up in price 6k+

Wow first time I have come across a 2dr like this... To be honest I thought you were joking on the thread about it being a 1.5 I thought it was a stock STi R and maybe had engine problems hence the 1.5 but obviously not!

Looks a tidy motor.
