Just a quickie as I am not sure, is a

'2001 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI TYPE RA' a rare car?

What would people suggest it is worth?

Dont know what its worth but a quick scan on Wikipedia, for a 2001 one its an import version, had bigger front brakes and was used for homologation for the rallying

Asi so any idea why they are rare?

because companies only have to produce a certain amount for homologation so they only produce the amount they have to as they normally have more expensive bits on

Thanks for the input guys it does help,

I see that this model (from the link Ian) it has AVCS heads on it which is VVT, which in turn makes it more tuneable, I have also read that this model was later replaced with a 'spec c' which was lighter and slightly longer making it handle better, but I agree with Stav and dino with the manufactoring and writing off of them!!

Who wants to guess what one would be worth ( I am not sure ) maybe 8-10k?

found this one on pistonheads for £8995 (IMPORT) and found out that 1000 were made of this type according to his advert.
