Default Possible eBay con...

Impreza Type R STI item #221258315459

... and

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...type-r/1200324

Adverts are pretty much word for word, both based in Kent and theres aspects of the car that are too similar (spoiler and splitter)

Beware!

Nah, theres definitely something going on. The ebay advert has the same description as the SVA advert. I realise somethings are different but SVA also have another yellow Type R for sale... its like theyve swapped over parts to diguise the fact theyve been trying to sell the car for ages

Mmmm..........

Can't be that rare if there's two of them in the same area

Interestingly the reg shown on Ebay (P452 DKP?) was first registered in Maidstone, so it ties in with SVA's locality.

Just had the rear doors welded up and blended. The front doors look to be standard length!
