Yup JDM's are 2.0 still. so that the impreza can still qualify for rallying.

Just did a quick vehicle check on the reg number and it comes back with this - Make - SUBARU Year of manufacture - 2007 Model - Engine size(CC) -1994

It doesn't come back with a model description.

Thought there was something up with this car as it doesn't have a cat 1/2 alarm which is required to get it through the sva.

The MY06 onwards Spec C Type RA is black with alloy heater controls. The standard Spec C is the same as UK/Euro STi models i.e. silver plastic.

It's a wind up or stitch up as not possible to get a brand new Spec C for circa £20k ...

"OU" registration numbers are what Prodrive normally use to register rally cars.

Have a look at any rally footage, and a Prodrive supplied car will have the reg number OU.
They can supply a car for about that money but it needs a cage fitted before it's registered.

I think at the current exchange rate the Japanese are getting them for around £18k, but to import it over here, SVA etc, would come to much more than £19K.

Pretty hard to pass an SVA without a model report for the euro 4 as they are not available to the public. If its a Prodrive car then it would have been stripped and prepped as far as im aware, and also it doesnt need a cat 1/2 alarm for the SVA as its not a standard vehicle feature, though for insurance purposes the chances are it will need one fitting
Basically I wouldnt touch this with a barge pole unless you do some serious looking into how its got through the SVA to get registered.

It would need atleast a cat 2 alarm in order to get through sva

It's one of the first things they check.

Read the first part, 9. xxxxx, this is a euro 3 model report and not a euro 4 so its not valid for this car
This may give you a better idea of whats avialable though
