I saw a 51 plate bug-eye STI at my local dealer today if that is any help and then another on the motorway (WRX) on the way home.

Some of the original press cars were on 51 plates.

Nevetas, the original "bug-eye" new age Impreza WRX was introduced in late 2000, as the 2001 model year. Thus, if you're only talking about WRXes, you'll see some X-platers around.

If you're confining yourself to the STi Type UK, that was introduced in the 2002 model year revision, with the first examples hitting the road in Jan-Feb '02. Thus, there should indeed be a few on "51" plates.
