Is there such a car as this if so are they any good? A guy by me just pulled one out of his garage and it looks lovely but I never knew they did this model. Can someone enlighten me.

 

Google is your friend.

But yes, they do exist, are sort after, well respected and not cheap.

I'm not sure about it now then trooper it has around 55,000 miles FSH tax and mot, but no leather seats it has the normal 2 tone blue sti ones and gold alloys not silver but it does have a rear wiper. How much do you think his is worth and can I type his number plate in anywhere to check it is what he says it is. I would be grateful of all input on this.

 

put some pics up of it mate, should be failry wasy to spot if it is or isnt

 

They were all custom built by Litchfield.

Was something of a brilliant car but not without problems.

Find out the serial number and drop litchfield imports a call about it.

 

Post a photo of it and we can all play detective,

 

Blob or hawk?

 

Type 25 Mk1 Blob but I think I know the bloke and this one is a Hawkeye Mk2.

 

surely that's only relevant to phone Ian if the guys selling it or he is actually looking for one ?

Otherwise why waste peoples time

 

Regulars will know Gonzo is on the lookout for a Scoob and as cash.

 

He wants to know whether the type 25 on PH is for real without giving away that there is one listed so no one can buy it before he shows up

Well of course this is just an educated guess :-D

 

No the one on pistonheads has been on there before and no matter how many times I try the person won't answer my calls or emails but never mind. The one I'm talking about a guy near me realised that I had not got mine anymore and waved me down this morning to show me his, not sure why he hasn't spoken to me before but maybe wanted to show off. He wouldn't let me sit in it look at the engine or take photos of it (really strange and left me thinking why flag me down then) hence it started me thinking is it what he says it is? I'm going to view an 04 wrx sti in wr blue on Wednesday local to me with around 65,000 miles, FSH, ppp pack so hopefully I may have my new Scooby on Wednesday if all works out.

 

thers 2 on pistonheads?

I'm sure with Iain's excellent reputation for customer service an enquiry about a car would be little trouble for them.

 

Yes I agree with you on his reputation and service but unless the person is selling the car why ask questions about it.
To be honest I own a hawk type 25 and would not be very happy if just anyone started ringing up asking questions about the car if not even for sale.

 

Is that all Blob T25s are worth nowadays? They've really dropped if so. Or is it the 2.5 litre engine worries affecting them?

I agree which is why I haven't made any phone calls and just asked you wise folk on here lol.

 

Very true chances are he will be on here anyway
Then he will want to know why you asking questions about his car .

 

Buy Brian's Red Hawk Spec-C for £14k now that's a bargain

They both look cheap to me.

 

I don't know. They are just jdm cars with a 2.5 l engine with forged pistons, but there is no mention of forged rods, bearings etc.
No roof flap, no spec c goodies

 

some one else who knows nothing

But you are welcome to share your knowledge with us

 

Fifth Gear reviewed it a few years ago.

 

 

?

What is so special about those two on PH? They are not based on a spec c, don't have a roof flap, no special spoiler, no AST suspension, blue interior instead of the black one , no cosworth lump, etc. IMO it lacks anything that makes a type 25 desirable. I might be wrong though, so please enlighten me. Really.

 

Not all T25s were based on the Spec C, you could choose the base car, so won't all have a roof flap. If they are genuine T25s they will have started life with the AST suspension, but who knows what has happened since? Only the Spec C had a black interior, so same reply as above re being based on the standard JDM.
Only the Hawkeye models had the Cosworth motor as standard (other than one blob that had it retro-fitted). These need just as much maintenance as the early T25s and many suffer high oil consumption. Having driven a couple of T25s (both blobs) I can reassure you that they are a fantastic drive and highly desirable

 

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up. But don't they suffer from the same problem as other 2.5 engines bar the pistons?
