as above, any ideas ?
cheers

 

Less every day at the rate they are being broken, and then theres all the soon to be crashed ones, as they have now come into the price range of the hot hatch front wheel drive brigade, and the lift off oversteer catches them out on a bend or the boost kicks in at the wrong moment when their confidence level is running high.

in answer to your question there must be a couple of thousand.

 

bust out laughing then

2000 huh....

 

I looked at a nice black and gold one yesterday,rr shows 388 bhp ! ! Fast as **** car ! Mint interior,only wants 3k for it !
He has been told to break it,but doesn't know how or want to,wants to sell it !!

 

Was it that nasty one that's been on eBay for ages?
Gold front end and black back end?

 

No mate,it was a dealer,guy in his 60's,didn't know what it was,had it for sale as a "Subaru Impreza" for £2995,I checked the paperwork,type r,checked the engine number,type r,loads of paperwork with it and rr printout from a company in Crawley.Offered him £2500,done the deal for £2750.

 

Nothing like 2,000 type r out there. There are 6-700 P1s, so my guess is less than that.

 

Yeah,around where I live I never saw a single type R until mine was imported.
There are 3 P1's local to me.I know 2 of them but the 3rd I pass every now and again.So roughly 3 to 1 here anyway.
I'm also seeing less and less classics overall here.

 

How many Type R Ltd's though, the really rare Type R ?

 

I'd be interested to know aswell but surely there is no way of knowing as the specific model details weren't noted when imported as far as I know, I may be wrong, but in reality we can't say exactly?

 

Yeah most of them have something strange on the logbook.
Mine just says wrx coupe.
As for limiteds none round by me bud.

 

I have wrx sti type r v5 limited but it doesn't say type r on log book

 

Mine says wrx sti

 

TRY THIS

Mine Says Subaru Coupe

 

on my logbook where it says make SUBARU under that it says type thats blank its a 1999 v5 sti type R .

 

made a calculation based on...... etc etc

less than 600 !

 

Sounds like a good estimate.
Yours looks much nicer with the stock wheels now.



Danny.

 

thanks mate its in the process of being returned to absolute standard. not lots to do really. its a good one.

600 no more, getting more and more rare in the uk. hopefully in the hands of true enthusiasts.

 

I will try and remember to send the paperwork for the Type R this weekend Craig,shall I Email you it?

 

Yeah very nice.it kills me seeing them in breakers yards so much.In the long run good for us I suppose.

 

indeed mate !
im an enthusiast of the classic
if i buy another car it will be another classic

 

I'm never selling or breaking mine, got it for the long haul, mica black v5 type r

 

While that site is great for UK cars, it is completely useless for working out the number of import cars. It relies totally on the vehicle model recorded on the log book.

Mine is registered as a GL, so that site lists it as a GL. When it clearly isn't.

 

Short sighted
I owned a classic when thats all they made, I moved on to a new age JDM twin scroll and have not looked back since
Even when I had to sell my car due to a change of job I purchased a nice version 5 type R (which I still own) as I missed owning a subaru, and I wouldnt say I regretted it, but it just doesnt do it the same as a new age JDM car (which is a much better car tbh )

So in the 4 subaru's ive owned (2 being brand new), the first was an MY00 UK turbo (PPP'd, a/c, brembo brake/AP 308mm kit, PD7's etc) I moved to an MY03 JDM Spec C, heavier, much quicker, total beast in comparison, then to the v5 sti type R and now back in an MY03 JDM Spec C

You still got the type R Tony??

 

Of course they will become sought after as numbers drop.Hence why they hold their value pretty well.

 

Yup, still in semi project mode have a couple of things to do then back on the road, just been too wet/windy/cold to do much on her of late
