Default My new S202

Hi to all.
I thought i'd announce the purchase of my new S202. How i have managed to get hold of this car is a miracle. I have found it purely by chance because the importer wasnt even sure that he could get it SVA'd and registered. It has been in dry storage for over a year because the SVA rules changed as he bought it over. But Miguel at New Era has come up with a model report so the car can now be mine.

It is Number 377/400 in WR Blue and completely standard in mint condition, with 20 k on the clock.
This is my second Scooby. Irecently sold my beloved 99 WRX RA V-ltd a couple of weeks ago and thought that would be it for a while but then after a lot of calling around i discovered my new S202

If there are any other S202 owners here i look forward to hearing from them.
Cheers Rich

Yes it is the car from Kent. I went to look at an STI V7 'Prodrive' at SVA first but i wasnt impressed with their attitude on wanting to sell cars. Plus i have never heard of a Jap 'Prodrive ' before so i went back to searching the classifieds and this S202 came up, its what i really wanted anyway so i couldnt believe my luck.
Going to get the car straight to Roger Clarkes when i take delivery of it so they can give it a thorough going over.

Clean the wheels man!!

Gorgeous car, well played. I wanted to get one too (last Summer) however couldn't sell my current car quick enough When I did sell mine I'd moved on to the Spec C as my wish list car. I am getting a spoiler like yours though for mine.

[QUOTE=Rasher;6738888]when are you picking it up mate??

Hi there Rasher, i ve got the fog covers, theyre in the boot. I pick the car up in a couple of weeks and i cant wait. Ive seen your car and its a beaut! I am trying to do my research on how many S202 s are in the country but you might be able to shed some light on that subject. I could also use your advice on how you look after your car etc. I had a v-ltd WRX ra before which was in great shape but i decided to sell then this dream machine just fell into my lap.

Thanks also guys for the kind comments. I promise to look after this rare and sought after vehicle, and as soon as i get delivery i will get some detailed photos of it up on the site.

Yes Tony it is the original STI titanium exhaust. The only non standard parts i can see are the clear side indicators and the carbon fibre front reflector cover thing-a-ma-jigs (couldnt remember what theyre called). Apart from those two things it is completely standard. I wouldnt buy a car that has had loads done to it , especially an S202.

lets see

1. Rasher - 333/400
