Default Can someone please explain

I have just checked on my scoobies log book to find that the full car model is: Impreza WRX-STi Prodrive Estate. A bloomen prodrive, I thought limited edition cars were prodrive equiped such as the P1 and RB5

Does that mean anything special. Do I have a special car on my hands besides the fact that its a scooby.

Please lemme know guys

My WRX is always listed as an STi on insurance company databases. Will double check the new V5 when it come (lost the old one in a house move - £19 for a replacement )

It is a JDM but funny enough on the very first log book it didnt mention anything about Prodrive.

However on the later log book it shows Prodrive

So if i filled in a form i could have registered the car as 22B even if it wasnt one

Lets just say my car really is PRODRIVE :-)

See my recent post on this car in the for sale. Sorry about the comment on the prodrive issue. I remember now, it was registered as a "impreza estate", didn't like that so I sent in the V5 with the STI on it. Got it back and had second thoughts (company car tax reasons), so I sent it back to get it changed back, but they added the Prodrive when it's not!

Kilo, as I said, classic shape Jap import STi's are not Prodrive cars. Prodrive are the UK equivalent tuning house of STi. I wouldn't try and pass it off as such and it adds confusion - so I would remove it from your ad.

My last STi 4 was registered as an RB5 and I know many others that are registered as GL etc...

There are few classic shape cars nocking about that were imported by Prodrive...
