Default WR1, 22B

Hi all

I am wanting to buy a WR1 and or a 22B.

I am not that clued up on these cars, can anyone put in the right direction on a decent one for sale?

I have seen the two WR1's at Adams, one at 25k and 1 at 20k very similar mileage but 5k difference, anyone know why and what the real value of these cars are?

22B are 3 times the cost for a start and rare as hens teeth.

Wr1 seem to be on the rise just lately, unsure why...

I would imagine that it is because they only made 500

22B have no problem paying 3 times the price.

Any on the below cars?

A low mileage unmodified one with low owners will hold the value most if any

The last 2 22B's ive seen for sale have been around the £70k mark. As for the WR1's it seems the prices dealers are wanting for these cars are a lot more then they go for private, Id say wait/or put a advert up on here for a enthusiast owned mint low mileage WR1 and go from there.

Im guessing your a collector, My mate sold a Widetrack STi with 3k miles on the clock about 6 months ago that went to London, wasn't you by any chance???

Hollybrook cars was the garage my mate bought the 3k mile widetrack STi from originally Great guys to deal with and they even had it put on the boat from Ireland for us to collect from the docks in Liverpool.

As for that blue STi for sale, I cant see it going up in value, I have these same discussions with friends all the time about the next car to go up in value, I think recently WR1's/P1's/22b's have all gone silly on the prices advertised by dealers(Same cars are for sale from 5-6 months ago), Personally Id be looking at early classic STi Type RA's or Type R's as these are the proper enthusiast cars that people are wanting now, so who to say these will not be worth double/triple value in 5 years!!!

If it was my money, Id be having a look at this!!
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...ed/4980621?v=c

Going from the pictures the engine/interior etc look very clean for the age, and more important it looks original, and being a fresh Jap import Id be hoping underneath is mint!! But thats just going off a Pistonheads advert and pictures, maybe different in person!!!

I started a thread about the two from Adams a while back and I think it's safe to say both of those cars are well over the odds for what they are.

This WR1 seems to be sensibly priced?

It was Scott who had it, He got a really good offer from a collector from London, Lets just say he did really well out of the deal.

It was like a brand new STi widetrack was a stunning car. And he just sold his 6k mile MK2 focus RS as he didnt like it.

I live 2 miles from Adams garage and it's my local. Know them very well. Both of the WR1's they have are very good indeed, but the 17k mile one is just exceptional. Worth a visit in my opinion.

The 22b is a special car, whereas the WR1 is just an Sti painted a strange colour. Road tested the WR1 has no more 'go' than the bog standard Sti, can't see what the fuss is about.

If there is a finders' fee involved I can put some effort into finding you a decent 22b or Type RA for sale. PM me if interested.
