I posted this in the other thread just before it was removed, I suggest you check out www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm

and this paragraph in particular:

"1.8GL"
A very special special! In 1993 Subaru UK brought in 6 Impreza WRX RSs, the development car which led to the RA. Due to type approval regulations, the cars were registered as 1.8GLs! 3 went to Prodrive and were presumably smashed to bits in a forest, while 3 went to Subaru UK who later sold them as used cars. At least one is known still to exist. Yes, it says 1.8GL on the registration document. Yes, it has a 2 litre engine with a huge turbo under the bonnet ...

Edit: just realised that the car models are different, ignore me

Bit obvious why if you have read the terms when joining and read the rules of posting again before you do post www.pistonheads.com/gassing/rules.htm

No naming and shaming rules.

Okay that was a bit strong and I apologise,but my original post should not have been removed and after speaking to Ted it was obvious that he had not read my orignal post with thought,I was very careful with my wording and I do feel that PH'ers should be made aware when possible of a car for sale with a very very grey history.

Zakster,

As I said in my email, if we could have a calm conversation about it then we could easily resolve matters and I may have reinstated the earlier thread.

If you're just going to throw your toys out of the pram and insult me then I'll take a different view...

Back to the issue in hand. The car is actually HPI clear (yes, it was checked on our behalf) so I didn't feel it fair to malign the dealer.

Ted
