Seen it going about Aberdeen but never heard anything bad about it - you inevitably do up here as it's just like a small village as evryone knows everything and fast!
Those pics are from the Westhill area on the outskirts of Aberdeen.
Not much help but there you go.

It's a bit strange this one...
At first I thought it was a version 6 (being a 2000 on a W plate) with a version 3/4 front end BUT..
It's actually a version 4 STI Type R with a replica V6 rear spoiler and received a W reg plate somehow. Everything points to it being V4.. grill, bumper, engine, seats etc
So if you look at it like that it's actually quite dear.
(edited to add.. beaten to it)

dvla do mess things up, it's deffinately a version 4.
The V6 seats have red on the edges of the seat base.
The V5/V6 cars have an offset (to the nearside) coil pack, std dump valve bolted to the intercooler, seats as above, rear spoiler would have clear lense on the light, 2 slat front bumper, lower part of grill extends further onto bumper, crystal lights, small bumper lip (v6)

Just because it was imported from new, does not mean it happened straight away, cars can be stored for many yrs and then registered new at the time of first registration..... and lets be honest, if you had a v4 but on a w plate, wouldn't you be tempted to add a few newer bits.......
Just a thought....... somethings might look a tad iffy sometimes, but it's not always as clear cut as that....
However, having said that, a new front end being fitted 'could' have been for a reason..... so if you go to view it, make sure to check panel fit etc......

I know this car. It is or at least last year it was a minter when my best mate owned it.
It is a version 4 but because of the registration it received a W plate somehow.
My mate bought it from a guy in fort william. Then he traded it in sometime last year for a lot less than the price advertised here. It got a service at AWD when my mate had it also.
If I was lookin for a type R (and didnt own one just now) then I'd be after this one (at a lower price).
