I've been keeping an eye on these 2 spec c ra's also, they are bloody nice cars but just can't make my mind up wether to splash out or not

I am more swayed towards the Litchfield one even though it has more milage.

One question if anyone know's the answer, is the spec c ra a 2ltr or a 2.5 with the twinscroll turbo?

If you are going for one bodski, then it's a good choise of scoob

Been looking at a different one.

Lets hear peoples thoughts on it.

2005 Spec C Type RA. LESS Than 7k miles. Seller was informed by the previous owner that it had been remapped to c350 Bhp, but no proof that it's been done or by who. Also has no service history, but does have the V5 in the owners name.

Was that the one on ebay that went for 13900 quid?
Had my suspicions about that car, it looked nice but possably had a front end crash at some time, the front lip spoiler was not the original STi item though in the pics its hard to tell if the rest of the car was original, and there was a bent/repaired one out there somewhere

I think he's geniune, but probably doesn't know it's had a front bumper change. As long as the price is adjusted accordingly and the damage wasn't too bad, then I wouldn't be put off.

The RA at Litchfield's is indeed my old car. The full AP setup cost near £3,000. The car was serviced every 5,000 miles at Powerstation.

The RA going on eBay had a massive smash. Avoid it at all costs.

Think Ian has a buyer in the pipeline for the RA. I was enquiring about it last week as well as Immys at PCM.

The search continues........

Well yes if it is the same one you are thinking of and Liam has just confirmed it(he should know ) I would not touch it with a barge pole Tony,dodgey doesnt even come into it more like dangerouse as said earlier someone might have bought it to sell on and hasnt a clue about its history bit like money laundering if it gets passed around its history/past dissappears in time.
