That looks very clean for an early classic but it can't be a 1993 on an N plate Nothing wrong with it, just the plate doesn't tie up

If the seats are original, that will help decide what age it is.

'93 cars will have the red "tiger" type stripes with dark grey background:



Also, a '95 car should have the aerial on the rear passenger side quarter. This one has it above the A-pillar, which suggests its earlier than that.

Having owned a '93 car for 8 years, you get to know a thing or two

92-94 it was in the piller,
95-96 version 2 was in the rear quarter,
97-01 returned to the piller.

its a version 1 wrx in very good condition, looks like alot of effort and elbow grease has gone into her!

Yep, that confirms its a 93 WRX.

Either the importer told porkies and declared manufacture as '95, or DVLA have made a mistake. Doesn't really matter though.

Must have been declared registered on a different date by the importer. Thinking about it my old MY94 had the ariel on the pillar.
