Yea I know, but why would they advertise it as one and also what's the uk dials and rear lights? And I though all type r's had ic water spray and no abs?
It may have been brought into the country new in 2003. Which is why its registered as a 2003. Its obviously not a my2003 though. Guess it could have been sitting unregistered for a few years
Dvla are useless, they registered my 1991 Mazda RX7 as a 1998 vehicle on the log book when it was bought into the country. Suspect this is an error too.

The TypeR WRX had ABS and no DCCD
The TypeR WRX STi had no ABS but DCCD
We're the engines the same Steve? I don't know if I have ever just seen a wrx type r?
No they're not the same. One is a WRX and one is an STi. Similar power figures to be honest though. And they do exist. One is coming to my place tomorrow for a photoshoot along side my STi
There are sales brochures on the Type RA site for both models
Yep,
WRX Type R V-limited was first available in Sep 97 (version 4) and carried on until the end of the classics.
The WRX type R lacked the normal STI treatment and therefore was quite a bit cheaper.
I wonder if you can tell if you have a wrx then if some one has added bit too one? Is that why some have wrx written on the back and sides? Are these not sti?
I do believe the WRX V-limited type R's had large 'WRX' stickers on the side yes.
I also think (not 100%) that the WRX had a roof vent. Could be wrong though but sure I remember seeing a pic of a WRX V-limited type R with a roof vent.

Matty,
The WRX Type R V-Limited didn't have the stickers.
The stickers on the side have "Tuned by STi" on them, which the WRX Type R was not.
The WRX Type R V-Limited has a roof vent as do the V5 & V6 Type R Limiteds.
The link Steve posted to the RA site has the press release & a scabby brochure scan for the V-Limited series of cars.
I will upload a high quality scan of the brochure once I've finished scanning them all in.

There's a Red WRX Type R on the bay at the moment.
