Amazing, a limited edition where you have to pay extra for the er... limited edition seats. Some manufacturers eh?

Anyway, this is a bargain if you go via the Ad.
You get it for 9,989 instead of the 9,995 on the notice.

PS it's missing the RB320 badge on the passenger side.
That photo also appears to have been touched up a little. (Funny black dot under side indicator?)

Might be the light, or my eyes I suppose.
Too me it looks like a perfect circle which, if on the car, would be about 2-3 inches across, covering the area between the rear of the arch and the door, just below the indicator.

The reflection off that wing doesn't look right. It is perhaps just the viewing angle.

I notice there's no front-on photo.

Nothing showing up to be wrong with #268 in the registry.
268 West Lothian 05/05/2007.
If you have any info on this car then please say so the registry can be updated.

As for this car, anyone know the build # ?

The things i can see in the pics thats wrong are.
A, n/s front door RB sticker missing
B. front splitter missing
c. RB branded mats missing
D. RB numbered tax disc holder missing.
Its possible the dealer has these items and there just missing in the pictures.

The standard RB320 had the blue STi seats (poverty spec) as we call them in the owners club. The leather upgrade was an extra £1400 and the Leather Alcantara was an extra £1500. The clarion stereo was also a £1500 upgrade and window tints an extra £400.
There are clone RB's out there. The way to tell a genuine RB is by the numbered service book, or take the vin and phone IM. I bet this is a very high mileage car or a cat D or C at that price. I've seen high mileage cars still fetching 15k with nice examples fetching a lot more.

Just hads a look through some threads in the owners club. 268 is heavily modified with reverse manifold rotated huge turbo and running over 500bhp. Looking at the pics from march 2012 it looks like a nice car, well looked after with some big money spent.
This is the engine bay. Nice !

Oh dear, looks like another one bit the dust . Looking at that thread it may have been broken for parts.

Just to point out though, in case there is confusion, the car for sale is not 268, well it could be i suppose but no info on that yet.

Yup, and as you can see mine #172 had all the extras And more now. We had rb steering wheel badges made up to replace the sti one by the same company that made the original gear **** badges. We also had numbered seatbelt pads made up by the same company's that upholstered the RB with the upgrade seats and door cards.

Well to be fair we don't know there is anything wrong with the car yet. Its just alarm bells are ringing because of the very low price and the sellers bad reputation.

Yeah, not me though as i'm way down south lol.
The only way to see the build number is on the tax disc holder or in side the cover of the service book.
