Looks like a private plate. Nice looking car though apart from the rear lights.

The ariel on the front pillar would suggest an Ra shell......but with a rear wiper fitted?????

So that leaves a Uk shell(ariel in correct place)......but as far as i know only the P1 came with a rear wipe in the Uk classic range......

We need the applied model code to sort out what model it is.......

cheers for the comments guys.

It was imported in 2004 my dads the second owner in the uk

when he bought the car it had the front bumper on and he was told it was an sti ra, but i will check the logbook tomorrow as thats what we've always thought it was.

yea 6 digid number plate looks good but it is a k reg only on 63,000 klms tho

i did the respay in ford radiant red but on the last coat i put twice as much thinners in the paint and it turned out quite creamy but still looks ace.

It's the model code on the chassis plate you want to be looking at.
