Looks like a gen sti. The red manifold, the paint flakes off over time, I'm sure the will be some remains of the red in places.

Has the correct intercooler to be a V3, and also has the rear wiper, and aerial on the quater panel and wing badges too.

Advert is a tad miss leading tho? £999 bit says he wants £3250?

In which case perhaps any classic with a good shell would suffice?

That looks like a very tired sti 3.

If the seller as scrimped on the advert by placing it in the £1000 or less category, just imagine what he has scrimped on with the car! :razz;

I think that would better suit a track car project as it'll cost a fortune in bits and bobs.
