Someone bought it off ebay before me and either took it back as I did or they had a look at it and didn't bother with it. He emailed me and said the person who bought it originally couldn't get insured as he had lots of points. I was skeptical, but thought i'd go along and take a look as it was only about 45 mins from where I was working. All seemed fine other than I could see the crank shaft oil seal was leaking a bit and it'd had a tap from behind where the boot wasn't quite sitting flush with the light on the drivers side. As for saying it's mint, it's far from it, plenty of small scuffs all round it. I've noticed the other black one he's selling he's listed that as mint, which it certainly isn't it looks like someones been firing a catapult on down the drivers side and that was looking at it from afar.

He certainly didn't say anything about the rocker covers to me. I wonder what the car would be worth if he did sell it legitimately. It really did pull so much harder than my 93 wrx I had that I know it's got to be an sti next time round. Got my eye on one all the way down in Devon, but its a long way to go if it turns out to be a wrongun and also can't get any time off work for the next 17 days :<
