I've always loved all of Glenn's cars ,) I'd be very torn between either. I'd be very sad and by either that was blue. LOL

Now rarer than rocking horse poo I'd LOVE a S206 but if one came up in Japan it would be best part £55k on the road her.

Yes that's what I am led to believe Jim, Apart from the S202 which was based on the early Bug Spec-RA, The S203/204 are the full fat JDM Sti car with all the Gucci parts added

Yes Jim. The S204 is basically based on the JDM STI without the weight savings from the Spec C.

Probably not as the BBS alloys are around £2.5k. The carbon seats roughly the same, So you are up to £5k with wheels and seats, Then you have to start on the dash £500, Then all the suspension parts....At a guess it would take approx £10k to make it look like one.....but it still wouldnt be one

Would love a nice set of pink gucci parts for mine Errol but just too much cash for my liking

sorry to avoid the question, but I'll have an S203 any day.

-> Rarity, looks, numerous uprated components, plush interior, etc.

-> Plus, it comes with "Exclusive leather key chain with S203 serial number" ! ;>

I think Glen polish's that S204 more than he drives it. The spec c he had was a minter to which got written of a week after he collected his S204

Glen I got a spare set of R205 brakes I think they would finish your car off !

IMHO overpriced by £5k but a said a limited edition and very few here. I could see one demanding that price on very low miles.

At the end of the day it's only worth what a buyer is repaired to pay

At would really depend on service history and provenance
