• Factory-fitted equipment includes air conditioning, electrically adjustable door mirrors, power windows and a Momo sports steering wheel.
• It rides on a set of 16-inch BBS forged alloy wheels, which are finished with gold paintwork.
• The car is almost entirely unmodified, save for its aftermarket Kenwood radio/cassette player, steering column-mounted Lamco boost gauge and Razo pedal covers.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• The Royal Silver Metallic paintwork presents well overall, though there is a minor scrape on the passenger-side corner of the rear bumper, as well as various small stone chips on the side skirts, and a blemish on the driver’s-side door mirror.
• All four alloy wheels are in good shape, though there are some minor scuffs on the rim of the front passenger-side wheel which have been painted over.
• Inside, the cabin is very smart, with some mild wear on the driver’s seat bolster, along with signs of use on the steering wheel, heavier wear on the gear lever gaiter and scuffs on some of the plastic trim items.
• There are no known mechanical or electrical faults.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This STi has recently been imported and no service work has been completed since its arrival.
