I own RB5 322 which is also a WR sport.
WR sport means it got PPP and a prodrive rear spoiler.
Superb car a standard but i got bored and had it tweeked to 330/320.
Currently off the road for a bit of work. Have noticed the underside is
rather rusty so bear this in mind if buying these cars are 10 years old and the british winters does not fair them well

I've had the pleasure of owning RB5 041 for over 5 years.
There are a few dogs about but I've seen some nice ones up for sale recently.
As Ciaran says, they are prone to a bit of rust, the original underseal isn't the best so check everything carefully when your looking at them, I've had to redo under the arches and I will be re sealing the rest of the body work later this year on mine.
There is a very good guide on the rb5oc telling you what to look for when buying a rb5.
good luck!

I have owned 420 now for over 3 years, and although its fairly modded now i have loved the car from the day i got it 
I always liked the cool grey colour also and the car had some nice touches like aircon, RB5 plague inside, nice wheels, prodrive suspension etc
My advice would be to go have a look ata few because as said above there are plenty of dogs about which are fiarly rough, best place to look is the RB50C, most cars on there are owned by enthusiasts and are well cared for and properly modded
Heres a pic of mine to give you a taster:
