blimey these cars are becoming affordable to buy!!!

 

Funny it has a P plate. Its a V5 surely?

Nice car though.

 

It has the phase 2 engine, so why it's on a P plate, i'll never know.

 

got a V5 interior aswell very cheap car

 

Probably DVLA dropping a bollock.

Could possibly have been the importer saying it was older than it was and cost less so he paid less duty? Chap used to do it round these parts till his ex-misses shopped him

I've seen a 1992 GTIR on an 97 R plate before.

 

my p plate, is a V3 Type R, it looks like the 2 front seats have been changed also, as they look a tad different colour to the rears.
but very nice car mate, and should sell for that money.
good luck.

 

The engine code will reveal all, but all the bits look like a V5 car.

No pink I badge though!

 

Maybe registered wrong to avoid the SVA test

 

Thought this had been sold on Fleabay.

 

more than likely..... went with a mate to look at a M reg WRX for him.. got there and the car was an M reg but was a MY99 4dr V5 STi..!!!! Happens a lot with cars registered within the last year or so.....

Still a cheap STi Type-R for someone

 

I'm getting the feeling that this car is a V5 not a V4, i don't know much about them as it's my cousins car, he took it in part ex for a range rover at his garage, you guys obviously know your stuff and it is very possible that the DVLA have messed up, it's a nice car whether it's a V4 or V5 lol

call me if your interested on 07967416063

 

No idea why you think this?

I have just advertised the car on there 2 days ago, must have been a similar one i guess.

 

I'd put a private plate on it and then no one will know how old it is anyway! lol

 

*I have been informed that this car could in fact be a Version 5 not a Version 4 Type R*

 

Defo a v5

 

with a V6 front splitter,looks identicle to my V5 apart from the splitter,im shocked its not away at this price.....doesnt look good for me if i try to sell mine

 

Sorry my mistake. I think the reason this car has a P plate on it was to avoid the SVA. If it is registered as a 97 model that would make it officially ten years old thus not needing an SVA test.

 

Id be very interested in this car, but with the reg being wrong for a v5 kinda puts me off.
i dont know anything about importing cars so is it ok to register a car to make it appear older than it should be? and would it become hard to insure?
shame really it looks like a nice car

 

think its sold mate and if its been in the country a while doubt there would have been any problems with insurance etc
