I recognise that car..........it's been on here (as a thread subject) not that long ago. The thing that reminded me was that he says it's unmolested but has the wrong colour alloys. I'll have a mooch around later

I think Pink Floyd was looking at it before he bought his blue one

Looks tidy and if near always worth a look. I would have been tempted had my current car not turned up at the right price. Best thing is to check the FSSH as although sure its fine some peoples idea of full service sometimes not worth it and normal checks!! Lots out there at the moment and real buyers market so if it needs the cambelt doing DEF get a good wedge knocked off.

Good luck to your mate.

I didn't get as far as even properly enquiring as the blue one came up. It looks nice though.

looks a nice motor, check if its a prodrive PPP or a prodrive style, as apparently there is only 1000 styles produced and only 250(i think) in black

People get the JDM Prodrive mixed up with the STI type UK, there were 1000 JDM Prodrive cars, said car in picture is a UK car, 750 produced with 750 none prodrive "Style", cars, this is as close as they come to the JDM cars (as the JDM cars had a roof vent and rear wiper )
The alloys look like the originals that came with the Solberg cars (prior to being turned into the WR1's), its worth a look at, thats for sure

Thank you for finding the link for me I thought I'd seen it somewhere........in the for sale thread LOL

As a bug owner I try and keep an eye out for bug related items

The wheels are the STi items in bright flitter / antracite or similar colour, and just as difficult to keep clean

I'd offer £200 off, buy it and then put that towards Dynamix gently remapping it for a real class act
