When Was Launch Date Of Bugeye STi
Right, been after a bugeye STi - most are 02 - some 52, but I've came accross a UK 2001 model.
I assumed they were launched in 2002 but obviously not.
Anyone know when they were launched?

It's got a later style Prodvive style bumper and Prodrive spoiler, This version should have separate fogs and a low level spoiler LOL Some other bits changed too !!

Prodrive Edition
The side skirts are wrong, and the dials are not shown.
It could be an "ordinary" sti with added bits or a Prodrive Edition with the wrong skirts.
Only real proof will be the V5 where it will state, or not, Prodrive Edition.

Ran the reg through the RAC site
Car history report by RAC
Shows as "Impreza WRX-STi Prodrive"
Hmmmmm, which puts me off as to why it has the wrong skirts.

Update
I'm going to see it tomorrow out of curiosity.
The owner confirmed it has Blue Dials, a Plaque of some sort near the visor stating to let insurance know it's PPP 305bhp or something and a PPP certificate from Prodrive.
I mentioned the sideskirts - he doesn't have a clue as to why or when they were changed, or if indeed they were changed.
It's on the V5 as a Prodrive model registered 1/12/2001 - which is very very weird if you guys in the know say they didn't appear until 2002.
Does it sound feasable, and this is just me thinking aloud, that the car was an early Press car or demonstrator hence the 2001 registration?
Cheers for the help so far - invaluable.

Subaru confirm the car is a 2002MY car, built in 2001 and registered December 2001.
They say some very early cars (as in 2001 build) had non Prodrive Skirts - but confirmed the car in the link I posted above (after quoting VIN numbers) was a 2002MY Impreza WRX STi Prodrive PPP.
Had me worried! And confused the hell out of me lol!
Anyway, tonights viewing night....
Finally, obviously the car has a factory fitted RAC Trackstar - if it is currently active can that be transfered to me or do I have to start a new subscription?
Many thanks
