Lovely, but no idea if it's been rebuilt at any point? Do you know the mileage when it was imported?
This ticks all the boxes for me but I'm concerned it could be my shift when the engine gives up....

We have already spoken about the car on Ebay Toby .I sent you the link to Jolly Green Monster where the car has been looked after before I bought it and you didn't get back to me.
I understand that anyone thinking of buying this kind of vehicle at this sort of money would like some reassurance that it wont be them that has to rebuild the engine at some point and I know all to well of the pitfalls you can fall into but you buy second hand cars with that in mind,i have no reason to believe this car if maintained properly will give any serious issues.
The best advice I can give you Toby is to find someone who knows these cars to come with you and view the car in person if you are genuinely interested.
As far as I am aware there hasn't been any engine rebuild and as for mileage from the date of first UK registration 06 08 2012 you could check with Mervil but I have put no more than 1000 miles on it since ive owned it.
I hope this helps Toby.

This was a lovely type R, Merv is part of the welsh section and seen it on a regular basis.
If I was in the market for one I would seriously consider this car.

Wouldn't a 1999 be 'Pure White' 51E (not Feather White)?
Also, that's a Version 5 top spoiler section (it lacks the 'gurney' kick-up of the 6's).
Lovely car. My mate had one very similar (imported by Prodrive and also owned by rally driver, Marcus Dodd!)

There appears to be a few different names, it seems, for the same colour code. Mine is also 51E, and always thought it was called 'Pure White'.
I guess getting hold of the original appropriate Jap literature is the only real way of confirming any given colour code's 'official name'......

No disrespect fellas this a for sale thread and the car is WHITE regardless of shade and code
but while we are on the subject of paint codes and names ,you cant go by a cars year because that is only when they are registered and not always the actual date of manufacture.
A cars paint code and name can only be confirmed by your chassis number.registation number and paint code through a main Subaru dealer as I found out while trying to get a colour match for my 99 turbo.apparently according to SGT there are two types of 95h and I got the wrong one and my fog covers are darker due to having smaller fleks.it makes things very confusing when trying to paint match when buying from a non Subaru supplier.

The photos don't do this car justice ,ive taken some pictures of things like door jams ,arches in and out ,boot with liners removed ,brakes, hubs and wheels etc ,I will upload them later,this car is in superb condition with no rust other than the rad panel as usual.

Heres some more photos of some of the places you would expect to find rust etc and to prove what great condition this car is in,there are five minor dings on this vehicle that I cannot get photos of ,all are easily fixable with no paint work damage at all,there are no stone chips bar a handful of tiny touched in ones that really do not affect the overall look of this car ,a couple of scratches in the side skirt but again minor and if anything the only cosmetic defects that bother me but for a car of this age i am very impressed with the overall condition of this car and would love to keep it but finances mean i cant keep all of them.
I own another Scooby as you can clearly see from my profile which i would prefer too sell but it owes me more money than the Type R but its not well and not in a sellable condition and im not finished with it yet.
