I love the wheels on the RB320 but from what I've been told they won't be easy to replace should one be damaged!!!
I've yet to see one for with my own eyes so I'm holding my judgements until then.

hopefully a test car or something as i would expect to take delivery of a new car that at most had a few delivery miles on it, not one that looks like it's been blatted up and down a motorway
surely just a normal black sti with a grille kit?

Its £1400 or £1500 option for black leather or alcantara seats otherwise you get the bog standard blue STI interior.Thats on top of the £30k asking price.Had the dealers on the phone asking if I was interested in one - offered a decent trade in price for my car.Seems a lot of money for a car thats going to be the old model in a few months time.

I would say that its one of Prodrives early concept/demo versions thus will not be one of the official cars and will probably get sold by Prodrive/dealer as a STI with extras!!!!!!!!!!!

Whys that Mog? There's enough cars in the country to have a very low risk of cloning and there's no other info freely available by the publishing of a reg number.
Would have to say that I'm more likely to be able to pin you down than that RB320
I'm sitting here supping a pint of Broadside as we speak

Here's a thought.. maybe, just maybe it's a mock up or prototype. They're going to need some to run at Autosport and are not going to use customer vehicles for that ...
It's a bit more likely than despeccing a brand new vehicle isn't it?

there's even a tread about the white P1 prototype for sale (not for the first time either) going on at the moment.
also would expect the cars run at autosport to be exactly like what you'll buy in the showrooms and they will become customer vehicles as they'll go on the market sooner or later as ex-demos.

From what I've been told there are a number of prototypes/mockups (i.e. correct in everything but name/registration) and all 320 "proper" RB320s will go to customers brand new. Don't know what'll happen to the prototypes, they'll probably get used internally for shows and press, etc. then be debadged and sold as STIs with bits on.
There was a white P1 prototype? Cool. Have seen two P1s recently. Forgot how good they looked.
