Thats not a "Limited" fella, Limted's started at Version 5.....I could be wrong but it looks like someone has just added a badge to the centre console.....Plus im pretty sure all "Limited's" were blue.

Nice car nevertheless

No such car as a 'limited', it's V-Limited.

The only Type R's available at that time were,-

WRX type R V-limited,
WRX STI type R,
WRX STI type R V-limited.

Exactly, so why has it got a Limited Badge and not a V limited badge?

Kind of correct however..............

The V5 is a Limited, not V-Limited, due to the WRC not being won that year, so they were limited to production months rather than numbers

The V-Ltd and Ltd both had roof vents and were only available in 74F Blue

V4 Came in WRX and WRX STI V-Limited versions.

Its all on the Type RA forum including the original sales brochures

This looks like a type R with a number plaque fitted from another car

Still looks a really nice car though

Having said that i think there was a 555 Aniversary edition that was available in different colours and without the roof vent. The only colour i have seen in this model so far is yellow though ?

The yellow car V3 was called a 'signature edition'. Only available in yellow with dark grey wheels.

The brochure has no mention of signature edition for the yellow one .. thought we,d been over this.

The only mention of signature is from the book you and your subaru impreza turbo which is full of incorrect info....

The researchers of said book must of made that name up then,, seems a very strange thing to do don't you think

So the limited run of yellow STI V3 type R's wasn't a special edition then ?

Very nice!

I do like the Type R's with the lower level spoilers, dont stand out as much as the later higher level spoilers.

Autoart do a good 1:18 scale model of the Chase Yellow v3 Type R
