Is it worth a punt? Looks an interesting combination - to my eyes anyway. What do you guys think?

Impreza STI V5 - twin scroll spec c conversion***! (1999)
Over the last few years I've been working abroad during the week, so the car has either been in storage (Garaged) and just "the" weekend runabout, so she is in Very Good Condition.
Its had an interesting history under my ownership, and its specification is as follows:
- Sti v8 Short block engine
- Sti Spec-C Twin Scroll turbo + Exhaust system. Spec-C equal length headers, Spec-C Oil sump.
- Sti v8 larger intercooler and bonnet scoop
- Sti v5 heads (ported), with Stainless Steel Black Nitrided Valves
- Uprated RCM Oil Pump
- Uprated injectors 550cc
- Uprated Exedy Clutch
- ARP Stud kit
- Uprated Exedy Lightened Flywheel
- Spec-C Quick steering rack
- Oil catch can
- Boost, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Exhaust gas temp gauges.
- Knocklink
- The mileage is actually lower than the listed one - due to the engine change.
- EcuTek Remap by Bob Rawle
- powerstation bump steer mod
- uprated drop links
- uprated fuel pump
- Braided brake hoses (dot5.1 fluid)
- anti lift kit
- whiteline strut brace
- Spare set of 16" gold subaru alloys wheels, with Kuhmo tyres in tyre bags!
Now the standard stuff:
- 4 door saloon
- Gun Metal grey
- Sti decals (seats etc)
- Sti V5 rear wing
- Air Conditioning
- 17" Subaru allows (2001 type) with Goodyear F1 tyres
- Serviced April 2011
- Recently taxed (until April 2012) & recent MoT (April 2011)
- Subaru floor mats
- The lovely Japanese AddZest stereo
- Tracker Monitor
- Cat 1 Cobra Alarm & Immobliser.
Mileage - approx 69000miles
Registered in the uk - 2000

Its not and never will be a spec c, putting a few bits from a spec c on a car doesn't make it a spec c,
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with this car as i don't know it and have not seen it, but a spec c it ain't.

It's nothing to do with a Spec c (Competition) which took over from the demise of the RA (Race Altered) at the time of the launch os the series II bug.
It's a Classic with a twin scroll turbo set up and it really needs a six speed box to cope LOL

In all honesty i think its a perfectly genuine add for a classic with a twin scroll turbo conversion, but using the wording "spec c conversion" although not intending to deceive anyone, or misrepresent what this car actually is, could unintentionally do so to someone with little or no knowledge of Subaru's.
