the problem wit them company's is they charge way over the odd for one by at least a couple of grand, you want to get down Southampton docks in one of the auctions

Your out of luck with liverpool docks because they've stopped bringing them into liverpool now. It's all down to the pound being so weak nobody is importing much these days as there's no profit in them now and due to the lack of imports the boat has stopped coming They had there last auction the other month.

I have been looking over the past week, pistonheads, autotrader, different forums etc. Nothing has really stood out. I went to look @ a version 6 on wed, complete waste of 6 hours.

To be honest im looking for a version 4/5 or 6 type r depending on the money. Although i have been looking at the ek9 type r's a back up plan. Dont know wether thats a good idea or not really. Im just so impatient

Digbys is expensive but its by far the best 2 door impreza after the 22B.

The WRC cars were the last classics so had all the goodies on the shelf stuck on them. If you have anywhere near that money I would take it. They are very rare and will be the most sort after in the future.

Does it have to be a Type R? You pay at least £1500 in 2 door tax. An equally similar STI RA WRC would be around the 7.5k mark with a RA WRC being around 6K.

I have a version 4 typeR STi on order through SVA imports, in Southampton. I asked them what I wanted and left them to it. I should pick it up some time next weekend.

Before I contacted SVA, I did some research and found that they are a decent import company.

I have heard of SVA imports. It might be worth giving them another ring.
