Anyone got one in the Northwest? Would like to have a look at a nice one if there are any about.

I know of one in Manchester and will drop an email to you.

Cheers. Wanted to see if any friendly owner would let me have a look around one. Never had a classic and the new stock from Japan doesn't seem to be that great. Think the exchange rate and availability of cars is forcing sub standard cars to come through.

Some really nice ones that sold a few years back with Newera Imports and the prices were really cheap bit late to the party again!

I have one. It's not mint and is miles from you thought.
Clocks read 262k

It is more a case of thinking out loud and fancying a nice classic STI before they all disappear. Any nice v2/3 would be nice to have. I like the original look of these compared to the facelifted ones. A lot of the importers dont have any stock on site that you can look at all in Japan waiting to be shipped.

Not sure yet anyway. Few more cars i fancy having as a weekend toy.

Have tried, but unless you are a fully signed up member, you can only look at about 3 post before being locked out!

Poor design really for a website/forum.

Seen it on SN. Bit of a parts bin special by all accounts. Would have to be as it came out the factory at that price, although it looks half decent in the pictures. Missing the plaques so could/could not be an original 555?

Over priced but still probably a nice car.

It's 40 posts before you are asked to join.
If you asked for a ride in a 555 on there, you'd have been in one already.
I'm in Yorkshire with a 555, albeit a wagon. Let me know when you are free & I'll gladly help you out

Thanks for that. Next time i am over your way, i will get in touch.

Edit - is yours the same that Newera Imports have in at the moment? Looks a stunning car.

That's not a 555, it's an STi V2 RA V-Limited. The number is missing but it would be xxx/555.
The 555 sedans aren't numbered but were only 500 & 100 wagons.

No probs

The Newera one is a V3 V-Limited Wagon. 1 of 555. Mine is a V2 555 Wagon. 1 of 100.
