The car is uk spec except no trackstar or cat1, obviously not prodrive.
European import only in silver.
Am thinking of buying one to keep the P1 company.
What do you think?

Hmmmmm. UK spec you say? But no Trackstar or Cat 1? Wot about warranty, RAC, europe-wide Mondial cover, underseal, locking wheel nuts, speedo, headlights, residuals, service book in Serbo-Croat? Not much of a bargain when you take all that into account IMHO.

I new you had got one or had one thats why i had to reply.
Its very hard to decide what to get when you have something like a p1 (mega cars)
Get your missis the new Honda Civic Type R or a Skoda RS Octavia and have £5000-6000 change.

lanky, if your opinion was based on fact rather than rumour you might have a different opinion, but maybe not
Andrew, sounds like you've got through quite a few cars already, be a shame not to add the STi to the list and @ 21k +1k for tracker, cat1 and locking wheel nuts can't see how you could go wrong, although a skyline would be very nice

I wouldn't do it, the cars are too 'samey' IMHO That was my experience with having the 22B and a MY01 WRX. Drove an EVO6 and thought the same. I decided to get an Audi S3 to go with the 22, much much nicer inside and a great motorway mile muncher. With a chip it'll get 260bhp 285lbft..which is adequate for a second car.
Otherwise I'd say drive the STI7, if you like it more than the P1 then sell the P1.

boultsy,
Think you're being a little unfair on lanky as some of what he says are well known proven facts. if u buy an eu import you don't get a tracker and sometimes cat1. you don't get the equiv warranty.
you don't get 3 years breakdown. you won't get the same residual. you're service intervals are more frequent and often your insurance is choice is more restricted or more expensive. i agree the rest of the argument speedo, lights etc is tosh, but you still need the weigh up the above.
