Right here goes no pics (sorry)

Its a 1998 R reg White Type R 555 (stiched on the seats), 35,000 on the clock, old style dash no cubby hole in the middle and the DCCD is down by the hand brake (not got an arm rest) Its got a swept back rear spoiler (2teir) the bloke says in ltd edition spoiler?

Is this car a Ltd edition and is there or should there be a plaque in the car some where? Also has the round badge on the back 'the world rally champ sticker 1996'

Anyone shead any light on the subject?

 

Sounds like a normal v3 sti type-R - dont think its a limited edition... The ones with plaques were v4/v5/v6 all sonic blue and with roof vents..

this one?

 

You beat me to it This is not the one i have looked at but it appears to be the same model (same interior not the same rear spoiler?)

 

The slanted writing' 50p tailamps' no side decals' crap spoiler and pound shop wheels make it real desirable

Did I mention the steering wheel from poundstretchers' gearknob from LidL
Two foglamps and she's rockin

 

And the ebay item is an Automatic transmission???
lol

 

The SIDC FAQ has all the chassis designations for Version 3. Subaru Impreza FAQ

GC8D2DD is the only 2 door car made in that year. It is a standard STI Type R.

In 1996, they did put 555 seats into a limited edition 4 door car. These may have found their way into the vehicle you have found.

 

v3 type r's have 555 on the seats, think its because it was marketed as the car that formed the basis for the 97 world rally car

 

thanx for sortin this out think i'm going to steer clear of the type r i'm lookin at unless i can get it for under 5k
