Seriously rare!

IIRC someone from Banzai found one a few years ago and imported it straight away.

Bit of a shame actually as it doesnt look all original and engine bay isnt overly tidy.

If it has a genuine build number lets hope someone gets in and takes it back to stock. Top cars.

japperormanceparts have had loads of s201's
if you have heard of the 22b you would of heard of these,they are rarer than any of the classic scoobs.
i have had nissans all my life and i know what these are..
it's a genuine s201 mate,and theres been a s202 ...
problem is getting papers for them,some cant be registered
there seems to be a loop hole stopping them from being road legal..

It's the official chav Impreza. Dreadful!

At least they got it right by the S204.

There is a guy from oz that is a member over on type ra.co.uk that has one. I used to think they were disgusting but his one looks pretty good.

Even if it was nice to start with, the exclusive-ness went as soon as it was modded.
Whoever designed the body kit was on drugs at the time.

they were the most powerful classic scooby with i think around 310 bhp, are seriously ugly and i don't think are worth that much, but everything is always expensive there.

I'm sorry but I agree with most of these comments. It is absolutely fugly as far as styling is concerned. You have a rounded shell and then put a kit on which looks like it was designed out of cardboard.

Shame.

I dont really like the look but then I do at the same time.

Was the kit made to look that way for function as the rear bumper is hideous, but looks quite functional looks like it would get minimal drag.

I'm in two minds at the minute.

it was made by Sti with very clever aerodynamics applied to it to make it stick to the road even better.

I agree that the S201's are f*cking hideous

But as an owner of an s202 I have to disagree about your comment above about getting it right by the s204, have you ever driven an s202, s203 or s204?
