Well there is no mileage and the way they mention its had paintwork done, sounds like you would notice a mile off I dont see why not.

I've seen that one.

Why no mention of issue number, pic of the plaque or tax disc holder? I'd tread with great care.....

Strange as it may seem Pete, Standard STi's have the Fogs deleted behind the covers LOL........... The WR1 is based on a UK Blob MY04 STi so probably just had the covers.

Default front fogs on WR1

The WR1 doesn't have fogs, it has driving lights as standard, only work on full beam much like the P1, i'd question if they were missing....

Although I have covers on mine, so may just be that...

No, but at that price you could have it resprayed and still have a cheap WR1. Be interesting to see the mileage.

So when you buy it / another one Jimmy Theivingb4stard reading this will know where to come and pick it up. He takes two sugars.

AFAIK it was a UK car with mods...3 port, fuel pump, paint, plaques and re-map etc. no rear wash wipe like the jap.

I'll have a dig around

S'not right that one.
Covers in place of driving lights, no "chrome" mesh over the lower intake and no STI badge on the upper mesh......

Hmm..found this on Wiki...

"A limited edition of 1000 Japanese MY04 WRX STI's with DCCD were exported to celebrate victory in the 2003 WRC driver's championship. 500 were sold in Europe, Australia and South Africa as the Petter Solberg edition, the other 500 were further modified by Prodrive and sold in the UK as the WR1. They had 316 bhp (236 kW) and 309.8 ft·lbf (420.0 N·m), an incredible 0-60mph time of only 4.25seconds and a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h) (electronically limited). They were equipped with Prodrive WRX STI springs, Pirelli PZero Nero tires, mesh grilles, special Ice Blue metallic paint and Prodrive PFF7 Pewter wheels. The new ECU and exhaust were not EU homologated, so they were fitted after registering the car. The retail price was £29,995."

Sounds like it's based on a Jap blob then

The WR1 is based on the eu model car, came with 265ps out of the factory, then had the PPP fitted to pump up the bhp to 316, runs your usual vf35 turbo etc, just the same spec as any other uk car, the sad thing was that the 2005 model that replaces it is a better car because of the adjustments based on the geometry and the addition of the yaw sensors for the A-DCCD

Excellent, i'll leave my English Mastiff [aka Bullion Bill] in the Passenger seat then, he can keep him company on his way home

Larking aside, i appreciate it wasn't the smartest thing to do , so i'll take that advice..
