It says 2 doors, but can't make that out for definite from the pictures. "M" plate? Early interior? I didn't think the TypeR or P1 were out this early. ABS though.

It's a non turbo. They did a 2 door non turbo model in Japan.

zippy!

does look like its 2 door although i too didnt think they were out at that age and certainly didnt know they did it in none turbo form!

Ah just seen its 1.5. So would it be the same chassis as the P1/TypeR ?.

It's a Subaru Retna coupe, It's where they got the R from in type R(Retna)

Yea pretty much, just without all the good bits.
Someone has obviously added things like turbo bonnet, spoiler, seats etc etc.

Not worth a great deal to be honest, unless somebody wants a type R lookalike.

I can only imagine their reserve is only around £1k mark, but that's around the price of a Type-R shell, or lower.

if your thinking of an engine swap and the bodywork is ok its surely not a bad price

I'm just thinking what could be transplanted onto it. From what year, models etc.

If the shell was absolutely mint then maybe it would be worth a punt, however the ad says it need some work.
It would be a huge job to turn it into a type R and I personally don't see the point. You can buy a decent type R for well under 5 grand now remember.

Maybe a great buy for a young lad who wants the look without the go.

It'll be FWD as well.

Ok purely hypothetical .
let's say you had a complete running donor car, say for example a WRX of a similar age would they be compatible? Does the 2 door chassis have the same wheelbase as the 4?.

Yes, everything would swap over.
