S202/203/204 wing ?

It's a good price, but 70,000 miles is quite a lot ?

My 2002 is just below 50,000 miles, IIRC.

I think it looks great.

It's one of the only Imprezas 'allowed' to wear that rear wing and it isn't messed about with.....that's how they come [apart from that grill ]
10k is a steal for that beast. imo

It is slightly different to the one Plato drove...Hawkeye i think wasn't it?? Yep later ones had the Porsche brake upgrade and definately looked better although i love that rear wing. Is this the same cossie built closed deck bottom end as the Hawkeye ones or different?

Regardless....it's a Type 25...goes well, handles well, stops well. Nuff said!!

That one will not have the Cosworth engine, and when new you were given the option by Ian of having the standard wing or the Spec C wing. I kept mine standard, but almost went for the lightweight one as I think they look great.

Isn't that what they were built for? Nothing pisses me off more than someone who's owns a performance car but yet drives it like a granny.

No you are right but it was an option.

The one Plato drove was the fully optioned version with the Porsche brakes and Enkei Wheels. Litchfield do the same as every other manufacturer does for Motoring journos and that's let them test drive fully optioned cars with all the goodies.
