Default V limited seats

Took a trip to a 'chieng gong' (a district for buying imported car parts) today and spotted what I think are a set of V-limited seats.

Please correct me if I'm wrong - seats looked like this, but logo is a yellow Subaru logo, with 'SUBARU WORLD RALLY TEAM' written underneath it in red


The price listed was 12,500 Thai baht. Condition of the seats was superb, but the stitching for the logos would need re-doing. I've never seen any like this here before. Price in pounds is roughly 250 quid - worth it?

logo on seats is shown almost at the end of the brochure, bottom right.

They look like S201 seats to me.

V5 & V6 Limited seats both have (different) STi logos to those above.

I have a set of V6 STi Limited seats for sale & want £250 for them so price seems about right to me.

Each year the seats were different.

The early cars were named V Ltd, but the later models (V5 & V6) dropped the V part and were named WRC 555 Ltd.

It's a bit more complicated than that...........the "V" stood for Victory, so when subaru launched the next series of "limited" models they were just called "Limited" because they hadn't won anything
