Default Hatch Spec c or Hatch 20 Anniversary?

Which would take out of these two if given the choice? Similar mileage, condition and colour?

Depends on why your buying it I suppose ,, daily/show car would be the 20th ,,, weekend/track toy then the spec c

I like to modify my Scoobs to much to consider a limited edition really but I think I would lean toward the spec c as later on it would be easier to sell as more people know about the spec c than the 20th

I looked at 20th anniversary and R205. They were out of budget with the mileage I was after. Went for Spec C in the end and bagged a cracker in a unique colour.

I'd bought the spec c with the intention of turning into a sprint car as there no sprint or race hatch backs out there bar Gobstopper. But it's only done 50k miles so it might be a shame to MOD it. The 20th will take some beating as a road car but I'll make my mind up when the spec c turns up. I may sell one of them has anyone any idea what they are worth here?

I'm intrigued to see the difference between electronic and plated diffs tbh. The spec c doesn't have the Recaros like the 20th and no front fog lights.

Hope I don't regret it. Fingers crossed I like the Spec c, it doesn't have the posh Recaro like the 20th. I took the 20th around Donnington Park last week and it handles amazingly and I race a spec c blob so I do appreciate a great handling car. Hopefully the spec c is as good if not better on track.

Fingers crossed for both of us the spec c is good! : I'm sure it will be awesome buddy. One week until mine lands!

I would have bought your 20th anniversary had the timing been slightly different

As previous, it has a lot more STi "bells and whistles" than the Spec C

The 20th Anni also has the additional stiffening for the front subframe
