WTF is this car?
A mate of mine is looking for a classic Impreza and he sent me the link to this car for sale but it's got me confused
It's supposed to be an sti RA and it does indeed have the roof flap but it has an ariel on the A pillar and another on the nearside rear quarter
It also has the sideskirts and spats on the rear bumper so I can't work out what it's supposed to be and why it's got 2 ariels!

Can anyone explain it?

That's my initial thoughts! Either that or someone has stuck the wrong rear quarter on it when it's been damaged!

I'd ask your friend to get the vendor to supply the Applied Model Code from the VIN Plate so it can be confirmed.

I'd steer clear personally, if it looked right it could be worth a punt but it's got the wrong bits on it and it screams out that there's something wrong.

Other than RA's what other imports on a P plate have an ariel on the A pillar? Version 1 & 2's did but this looks like it should be a version 3 and didn't sti 3's have the rear mounted ariel?
