Just noticed that it has air-con. This has to be the most perfect ra I've seen in ages.

I agree with that, needs the original smaller bumper on. Bumper would Suit a v5 with big rear spoiler which are similar in size. It's a genuine clean unmolested example these will be collectors shortly as there are not many left in this condition

I can't believe how much RA's have increased in price since i sold my last RA....Back then, no one wanted one because people looked at them as the "Poverty model"

Good luck with the sale fella, looks a nice example...

Why were they labeled poverty model?
As standard they look mint,true classic Impreza at its best.
Lightest model and best power to weight ratio available,giving you the quickest 0-60 time of all the impreza classic and beyond
What's not to love
GLWTS
Very nice example. Would lose the front bumper tho

Nice Car - I own a V2 STi Type RA in feather white

*Does the V3 STi RA also come with the CDB engine & 5th Injector or is it the V2 STi RA only ??

Thanks

Could never sell my car…but this one certainly made me think about it (for about 3 seconds lol)! Can't believe it hasn't sold already, thought it would be snapped up!

It's made me think since I put up for sale ( don't sell it lol ) if I had a garage I'd probably store it for 5 year then sell it be worth double then or on second thoughts keep it !

I am seriously tempted but it would be my everyday car. So it would mean a lot of work keeping it mint and I am not sure I could put up with wind up windows and no radio!

Does look stunning though.

I used my pervious V2 STi RA as a daily for a while and found it fine ok I had to wind the windows up and down but its far from off putting, doesn't this car have aircon anyway.. my car also had a radio/cd ? cant see why this one doesn't. is it that big of a job to add an aerial.. I can see in the picture where the aerial is located on the drivers pillar.

the front bumper puts me off ide have to revert to the origional

I have my v3 ra as a daily and I love it! Hard to keep clean all the time but I get good time off work so am always washing it,still no rust to speak of
You can see Ariel on the 3rd pick drivers side pillar,would be no probs installing a sound system
Mines also aircon but I don't use it

When he says 'no aerial' he means no electric aerial.
It'll have aerial on the pillar so fitting a stereo is simple.
