i reckon its too clean
The car does get used and abused. The BC coilovers and the Andy Forrest map are there for a reason
This was just a little spring clean before the PB open day last weekend.
i'm only joking, looks awesome, what is special about the WR1?

It was a special, limited edition of 500 cars built to celebrate Petter Solberg winning the Driver’s Title in the 2003 World Rally Championship.
It was only available in one colour which I believe is unique to the WR1 (in this country anyway).
Standard figures are:
320 BHP
0-60 in 4.25
0-100 in 10.67
Top speed of 155 (limited).
Its got a variable centre differential and a few Prodive bits and bobs such as the wheels and suspension.
It also sits 25mm lower than a normal STi.

aaah, I see and totally agree. A dog is usually something crashed or covered in dents and shit.

So high milage, kerbed wheels and a few dents. That explains the price tag.

Where does it say it has high mileage? It doesn't explain it at all. Sorting that dent and the kerbed wheels will be cheaper than the £2500 for the next cheapest one.

I totally agree. I wasn't saying that makes the car any less of a car. It just explains the price.
I'd also be happy with that car at that price. My cars are never pampered anyway. I use them like they should be used

Someone a few posts down says "High milage or not..." It sounds like they know the car, or at least know the mileage.
Thats how I read it anyway.
Plus, it would make sense if it was high milage. A rare and desirable car such as this should shift no problem at all at that price.
