Love the advert, full of BS but...

What it wont have...

VF25 turbo
STI quick rack (only v-ltds have these at this age)
Both an R160 and R180 diff
Closed deck block unless its had a new engine
308bhp at 1 bar.... hmmmmm
Someone has facelifted the front end, for what reason?
Not sure about the seats....

It could have been an interesting car to go and see, not that far from me!

Yup the bottom one is a version 4 v-ltd, very cheap tbh, I wouldnt sell my normal v5 for less than 7k (though its got 55k less on the clock ) and the bhp, it would require a remap and an after market ecu to map to get those figures as the standard ecu cant be mapped and wouldnt push those figures without issues.
A note is that a good v4 v ltd would be pushing 5-5.5k with that mileage.
