Sorry guys, I have to believe Ian Armstrong on this one

I bought my Scooby without ever sitting in one so seems pretty likely that special editions can be sold without full specs being released.

At the moment the clever money is on Steve Em

I was told this last weekend. Ian had been talking to Mike Wood about the limited edition the week before, I believe. Maybe Avi and Zippy are jealous that Prodrive didn't contact them first!

Jabb's

AFAIK SP's have "sold" another one to make 3 so far, I gather they might be able to get hold of ten in all.

I could always sell the kids to work down the mines

Cool

This Special Edition is certainly causing a bit interest.
The thread on the general section is upto 7 pages.

Yes I really have sold 5 now. All with £500 deposit paid.
And yes without the final spec and price being finalised.

What I do know is its a UK spec STi (265bhp) with DCCD diff, Black interior rather than Blue Alcantara and in Ice blue metallic, only 500 available.

The car will have 18" alloys, probably in Anthracite.
Prodrive springs. Prodrive are also working on a upgraded PPP to produce over 330 bhp plus other odds and sods to make it go/stop and handle better.

My best guess on price is £30-32k depending on what Prodrive add to the standard car. FQ330 is £32k and that is the car Prodrive have been given the task of not just beating by a small margin, but giving it a right good kicking.

Hope this has satisfied the non believers, and answered a few queries.

Cheers

Ian
