My choice would be the Type R. The JDM Type R models have all the toys including D.C.C.D. Steve

Type R, its just a more focused car, and lots more colours to choose from (black, sonic blue, cool grey, white, yellow, dbm etc)

Cool grey Type R, why pay over the odds for a blue type R with a pants map?

Depends what your budget is, you can buy a well sorted minter of a type r for 7k, and the p1 in similar condition will cost 10k if you can find a mint one, 12 year old p1's in mint nick are not easy to come by, and usually overpriced, and the type r IS a better car imo.

Right thanks for the replys guys. Im thinking type R at the moment. I have found a dealer in dover who has a few. SVA imports. Has anyone had any dealings with them and also the car a like the look of is a version 6 sti v limited in blue, the price does seem a bit high though or is it just me. they are asking £8250.

If its a minter with low miles that aint too bad, should be able to knock them down a bit, the limited have a claimed 300 horses out-of-the-box (instead of 276).......

Haven't really heard good or bad about them, I was considering looking at a couple when I bought my wagon, just too far a trek for me from Bristle.
