Hi there, I am currently on the hunt for a clean Series McRae anyone got one for sale?
I have looked at a couple now but one was modified and the other (no2) which was meant to have 2 lady owners from new and suitable for a collector, had had an exceptionaly hard life .
There is cash waiting for the right car. Cheers Guys!

I test drove one 10 years ago. And I'd say you have as much chance of finding one as I have being the pope. Get real!

Theres one in Autotrader at the moment for £4000, he'll take £3800 for it as its got snow tyres on at the moment. Pretty sure he was based in Hertfordshire

There's always a few coming up on McRae Owners Club , just found No 141 @ 5K.

Are you set on a Mcrae?, I have a mint MY00 (and I mean mint!), 43k miles Silver classic up for sale, (not cheap, but price reflects condition), unmodified, with complete FSSH.
Mail me if your interested, if not good luck in your search, they are quite rare though.

McRAE-69

The only two I can find on Autotrader are 555's? and I think he wants a UK version

Tried emailing the link but i've got to be registered to send the link

Not sure if this addy will work:

Auto Trader UK - SUBARU IMPREZA Series McRae Turbo 4WD 4dr Saloon Special Editions

If not its herts motor services and its £3995. Make sure you do a national search

McRAE-69

Hi yeah that link works for me and that's def the STI V2 555 Import version.

+Doc+

Ive had two!
There are plenty out there, its just finding them
They seemed to come in waves, non for sale for ages then three come at once.
Good luck with your search, keep tabs on mcrae owenrs club imo.

Its a v3 sti though isn't it? Is it just that its a v2 mcrae?

McRAE-69

Hi I found this link from here https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...55-v2-sti.html

They made 500 of these for the Japanese market I think, and the Series McRae was only 200 units for the UK, both came out at about the same time and they never made a McRae V2. I hope this helps

The car in the autotrader link is the version 3 v-limited.

<------- view my scoob for the version 2 555 sti

McRAE-69

what's the difference please? is it the colour?

g7prs

iTrader: (5)

Although i thought it look like a version three i am not sure to be honest.
The v-limited has...

WRX Type RA STi Version II V-Limited
Special Features:
- only 555 cars were produced
- 'Colin McRae' and 'Derek Ringer' stitched into STi seats
- applied model code GC8C4DD
- unique paint code selected by Colin, saltire blue, colour code 53C
- DCCD
- Closed Deck Block
- Short Ratio gearbox
- Rear LSD
- Fifth fuel injector on the inlet manifold
- Rally style roof vent
- FIA "World Rally Manufacturer's Champions Subaru 1995" badge on left hand side of bootlid

The 555 sti is basically just an sti painted the same colour 53c and it has the roof vent but it doesnt have some of the other things like the DCCD

McRAE-69

I appreciate that, thanks for clarification.

So to compare your model with a McRae.

Special dark mica blue paintwork cc 416 (I think)
6.5 x 16 inch eight spoke gold Speedline Safari alloy wheels
Recaro sports front seats with open headrests and Series McRae motifs
All seats (front and back) and door panelling retrimmed in Le Mans/Avus material
Factory fitted electric tilt and slide sunroof
Interior numbered Series McRae plaque
Side and rear Series McRae decals

So they are really two different editions

g7prs

iTrader: (5)

Yes completely

I thought we were talking about the v-limited in the link and mines.

McRAE-69

Yeah sorry, I was referring to an earlier thread I should of said before, It's just that some people advertise their car for sale as a McRae when its really 555

g7prs

iTrader: (5)

Yes you get that quite alot.

So is that a 555 model in Autotrader? Looking at it again, it looks nicer and a bit more special than the standard sti I bought the other day, kind of wishing I went to look at this one now.

McRAE-69

Hi timmy2take, yeah that is correct the 555 is a nice looking machine.
