Well he thinks it's an RA, personally if they have no clue to what they own I avoid.

RA came without skirts, without AC, without electric windows, steel wheels, no rear spoiler, non colour coded door handles, no central locking, No rear wiper and a few other bits that I can't think of off the top of my head.
HOWEVER,,,
All the above were available on an RA as options. It's very rare to find a TRUE RA as it was designed. Most people who bought an RA new would have wanted Things like AC and electric windows.

Sorry, wasn't saying it was an RA, it's obviously not.
Don't think RA came in black anyway, could be wrong though.
I'm actively searching for a completely original STI RA in white, hard to come by.

Its not an RA if got wiper on back window! He also says it is a WRX and STi. an M reg RA will be WRX and will be closed deck. The STi is the open deck with the DCCD control by the handbrake.

I dont ever recall an RA in black either.

You can get RA's with EW and AC but they are options as mentioned. No side skirts on an RA and could have been added but why someone would add side skirts to an RA is beyond me

RA's do have rear spoiler - early WRX have a low one and the later STi's have the slightly taller one fitted

Ask him if it is closed or open deck and ask him for the GC8 code - that will tell you if true RA or not.

About time we had a Type RA forum on here
