Type r v5/6
Are there many good version 5/6 type r's left? I've looked at a few but its been a waste of time.
|
All classics are getting harder to find in good condition let alone mint.:D
|
The exchange rate doesn't help fresh imports either I've seen fresh v5's at £8999 :eek:
Mine must be worth a bob or 2 now then ;) |
There about but most of the are bits of ****, hard to find a nice impreza of any sort to be honest I've been looking for a hawk for a good while now

Good classics are hard to find, let alone ones you could honestly describe at 'mint'. Paul. |

Unfortunately you have to be patient & keep looking but I would cap how far you travel to view one unless you knew the car was a minter. |

There may not be 'many but there are some out there, I managed to catch one a few months ago.

Thats the problem, you travel a long distance and the owner has either intentionally not described the car properly or they genuinely dont have the eye to know what they are selling until it's pointed out to them. |
Those type r's above look very tidy.

My realistically affordable dream car is a fresh import WRX STI Type R version 6 limited edition with low miles and in standard mint condition. I emailed a well known Jap import specialist for an idea of the price if one was to be sourced for a customer and an 'on the road price' you're looking at £12-12.5k.
A fresh import, nice low milage Type R version 5/6 you're probably looking at £8-9k... |

I'm hopeless on computers & all that jazz but here is a link, they are not the best pics on the iphone, they were taken straight after a Driverskill course at Elvington.

Pm me if any of you hear of a good type r for sale.

I picked up a type r last November, had been looking for about 4 months and one cropped up on eBay of all places, it's a fresh import v6 sti limited edition 191/1000, I traveled from Cornwall to slough with a trailer and got lucky, it's a minter, the underneath stunned me not a bit of rust anywhere and even all the suspension bolts are like new. I paid £6400 has 80k on the clock. All i can say is keep looking they do turn up from time to time. Paul's and steve777 they look lush fella's
|
Have been looking for a hawk for a year but just couldn't find the one.
This past Friday just traveled 7h 40min on a train and 338 mile drive back and I got a hawk spec c v limited with 33k in standard condition, what a car and that was one drive back :) |
hard to find these days as there all getting rough and needing tlc i find.
one of the reasons i decided not to sell mine and plough more ££ into it and have all the rust etc dealt with and a nice new paint job aswell as a nice new engine build etc ;) keep looking and 1 will eventually pop up |
|
Beat me to it lol, was just going to add the links to the type r's on eBay, the top one is where i got mine from in slough, top bloke and very informative
|
Nice one. We are quick on the draw up north in Wigan!! LOL
|
Thanks, i hope to find one as fresh as possible, has anyone on here heard or used japanusedcars.com?
|
I'm in the same boat.
After a White one which is proving very difficult it seems. Tempted to import one, but conscious I am basically taking pot luck on how long the engine will run before it goes pop. Ideally want one thats been in the uk a few years and rebuilt with a few 000' miles under its belt. |
