Looks rough to me, would need tidying up a bit... ok a lot, if you're taking on a 120k mile car you need to have a well maintained one or it's going to die.
No worried about the seats though, the original ones of that age are crap.

hmm...there's better Jap imports for that sort of money IMHO.
The only saving grace with that car is the Prodrive seats (as it's a UK car - steering wheel has an airbag)
The imports come with decent seats anyway. Any UK MY95/96 with have awful seats (I changed mine from the cloth standards to cloth buckets - rare as rocking horse whatsit!)
You're in the good position of choosing the best of the rest - good cars at this price will be about, but harder to find......

The thing is, i cant get a wrx or sti, it has to be a UK turbo, for insurance reasons.
so, with this in mind, there arent alot of uk turbos about in good nick for around £3500, granted, wrx`s are as common as the hair on my ****, but cheers to the missus i cant get one of those, well, i could, but parting with £1100 for insurance is not on my to do list, whereas the uk is £600 fully comp.
bearing that in mind .......
