Peter if the car is from Litcho then its cosha the advert says 2 well the other one will be mine there are another couple in the country and a dodgey one and 1 in ireland as for the price it depends what people want to pay as you have said they are rare and will only really appeal to a true enthisiast or a collector as for the ra-r they are even more rare as only 300 made worldwide they are a cracking car right out of the box.

Over priced IMHO albeit that Type RA is 2nd best Scoob ever (RA-R being the best). Lot of money for a 55 plate car ...

It's my old car. I now have an RA-R. When the car was owned by it was servied every 5,000 miles at Powerstation. Also had a good few mods spent on it, namely the AP full setup being my favourite.

You have no worries about the history of this car.

It is a bit much, I think its worth about 20k, as above bit much for a 55 plate must of had 2-3 owners aswell by the looks of it.

TX as I said earlier in a round about way(its a buyers market at the moment) and unfortunatly the way the banks and the gov have been with our money nothing is safe,scoobs at the moment are going for stupid money due to them (credit crunch) and a lot of peeps will lose out but the ones who have the cash will be smiling all the way

RA-R may be rare but it is not the best Scoob surely - I would think the C RA would be a better car.

The RA-R started out as an STi which was already heavier than the C. Had some nice mods on it and is rare, but is it as quick and nimble?

You are completely and utterly wrong.

Subaru Impreza Spec C Type RA-R is the full title of what we abbreviate RA-R to. And is the best factory produced car to date.

The S204 was the 600 run Ltd Ed car that based on the heavier standard STI.

I've owned both a Spec C Type-RA and now have a Spec C Type RA-R and take it from me, the RA-R is the sharper tool, not by much but it definitely more complete than the RA. The front end also seems quicker somehow and thats even after coming from my RA which had the anti-lift kit fitted, which supposedly improves front end grip.

this car was for sale for less money around 6 months ago! Great looking car though, I had eyed it up when my STi went missing. if my car hadnt come back I would have considered this. Haggle though!

As much as i love the RA in white, i wouldn't stretch to £25k just for exclusitivity. I'd of much preferred the red Spec C for £19k the other week.

This is the car I went to buy at Litchfields.
Was cheaper by a few k's and that was without haggling but put me off that it had been lent out to a customer who was having a Type 25 built. Some courtesy car like but this made me walk away.

Flame Suit on!

Just to throw a spanner in the works, I've been "looking" at this:
Auto Trader UK - MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION IX 2.0 FQ-360 4DR [LEATHER] 17000 MILES

Sorry for the long link.
