Looks very nice. Make sure you've checked properly for rust underneath (look very hard, especially under the front) and of course do the full, proper, HPi check first.

If all's well, enjoy it.

A bit last minute for anyone to recognise the car especially as youre picking it up tomorrow! Doesn't look familiar to me mate but it does look the business & some very nice mods there too. You don't need to worry about thre rear shocks knocking either with the BC coilovers upgrade.
Has the cambelt been done? Might be room for negotiation?
Good luck & I'm sure you will enjoy!

Sorry about the last minute post asking if anyone knows the car but I sold my WRX and put a deposit on this the same night on Monday. It does look very good and the current owner seems a decent guy so keeping my fingers crossed! It does have some very nice mods so won't have to spend anything on it, yeah right lol.
The timing belt etc was done at 36k so that's ok. It's been mapped by Duncan at racedynamix, but the current owner didn't get this done and doesn't have a dyno graph, but after speaking with Duncan he says he prob didn't supply one at the time. I was asking him if he keeps records of the cars he maps, and although he keeps records there of the owners name at the time of mapping and not on the VRM, so hopefully it was the last owner on the V5 and I can pass this to Duncan, failing that I'll get it put on the RR and see what it's putting out, but I imagine with the VF 43 etc it must be around the 320 mark?
Def not local mate, in Dudley West Mids, flying down to pick it up today

Picked up the car yesterday and I can't you guys how happy I am with it. Very much worth the flight down and 6.5hr drive home lol. My old WRX felt fast with 270bhp, this thing is just on another level lol
