V4 STi have red tops (although the paint may well have flaked off by now) have the later interior same as V5,V6 with the white clocks and have red/clear rear lights as standard

Just looked at the ad (that will teach not to type before reading the link) It looks like the paint has flaked off the manifold and everything else looks STi 4 to me

just looked again and the seats should have red on the bolsters and the shoulder area.They look like WRX seats to me

I agree with everything you said but if you enlarge the photos it looks like it's got the sti seats

Why do you want to know Swiss?

So we are in agreement that it is an Sti even though it has UK style plates on it and no Sti rear lights . The rest looks kosher yes ?

Paulo...mind your own business !!

Some importers changed the rear lights to UK ones so they got the foglight. Completely no need because the STI rear lights have a blank where the fog light goes that you can drill out with a tank cutter (I did this with mine)

Its a V4 STI. For that price its a good buy assuming its not knackered. A nice black V4 STI would suit me very well.
