Default Nice Type 20 - seen this advertised.

Does anyone know the car or history?

Is this good value for money?

Call and ask Iain litchfield or powerstation as the ebay ad says its been serviced there so they will give you a bit of history.

I got mine with a couple of thou less miles for 13500

been on autotrader for a few months Top dollar but looks mint.

JDM's are getting very rare, you could gte a UK Hawkn for half the price. But it's half the Car. There is no comparision between a JDMa UK Subaru. Once driven a JDM you'll never go back to a UK scoob.

Hawk is best looking scoob imho, JDM version better than UK version imho, £15k does seem strong money though for a 6yr old car.

How would you identify one of these as a real Type 20?

Looks like the Type 20 badge has gone missing.

I bought my Spec C Type 20 a few months ago. Had 24k miles on it and I paid 15k for it so this seems correctly priced.

Anyone who's considering it - BUY it, you will not regret it! I came from a 2006 2.5L STI and a P1: the Type 20 is a whole new level.

Not passed judgement on outfit, as was very hospitable. Just passed on my honest findings of the car. We are all different in expectations so I can only say if anyone is interested, to look at the car in the flesh and then make their own judgement.

No offence mate, been on the forum too long and try not to post too many personal opinions as can be misunderstood.

Still for Sale, gonna be difficult car to replace in a lot of ways. Will bring a tear to my eye when I see it drive away!!
