I thought type r was 2 doors and type ra 4 doors. Never heard a 2door type ra before

Are you absolutely sure it was a type ra. Was it mentioned in the service book or the logbook etc? Maybe the previous owner damaged the tailgate and fitted one from a type ra. Or just slapped a sticker on it...

v-limited was its name

As LUCKO said, they do exist. Seen one in the flesh, was Chrisp's.

IIRC There was a thread on here a few years back that busted the two door Type RA thing, something to do with chassis numbers if i remember correctly.

I can't be ar$ed to search for it, even someone from Subaru in Japan confirmed it by email.

Pretty sure there's another thread as well where this is brought up again.

This thread covers it again with the administrator of the type ra forum commenting on it.

RA Dunk

I've just had a quick look for that thread where it was confirmed by Subaru in Japan by email that there isn't a two door Type RA and can't find it, it has something to do with the chassis numbers being very similar that causes all the confusion between the two of them.

I did find this one post from the OP of this very thread which says what I'm saying though, I'm guessing he dug a little deeper to get the info. Note the thread below is a year later than this one we are using now.

It wasn't an RA though chap.

RA Dunk

Just came across this on Type RA forum. This is the car that causes all the confusion.

It's a V Limited.
