Cmon guys it is a RB5 after all! Pretty sought after cars IMHO, just check if it's got the power upgrade as most were "PPP"d up to 240bhp (even though it says 215bhp in the add). Can't really go wrong with a RB5 can you?

But your missing the one prev owner and loads and loads of history, would rather a 2 owner car with 110k than a 50k car thats been clocked crashed and thrashed to death by 5-10 owners like most have!

Should be some Prodrive paperwork. Think it was called a "WR Sport" upgrade as it was days before it was called PPP.

Years ago I looked at a normal Scoob that had the WR Sport upgrade & it flew. Did the RB5 seem fast?

Old thread but sets out the WR Sport bit:

This one goes into a bit more detail (not specifically the RB5 but goes through what the WR Sport package was):

Just noticed that you can see the ltd edition nr on one of the pics. Get over to "RB5ownersclub" website & they'll probably tell you all about it
