Is this a real STI, aerial is in the right place but the roof vent and the seats?

No. that looks like a bit of a mixed bag.
I reckon its a WRX V-Limited thats had vent added to it. They were an option at factory too.
Aerial on my old type RA STi was on drivers side pillar.
Having the signature seats tho is strange as V-Limited should have WRC champions crest.
Intercooler is STi but doesn't have 5th injector?
Door handles on STi would be matt black but could have been painted?
Mirrors on STi are matt black which this has but again painted?
Type RA STi has no side skirts or spats.
Type RA has DCCD, doesnt look to have.

Only true way of knowing is get model code and trim code but fairly certain she is a WRX V-Limited, if fairly rot and rust free its a good price.
 
poor car has bits ****ed on it from all models
state of the engine bay
uk car and no rust - doubt it very much

best case it could be a sti 555
they would have the seats / roof vent but no dccd
proper colour and all

model code saves all

Oh yes forgot about the 555 that was out in 95 only. That had skirts and spats, roof vent and was the first full production STi so could still have had aerial on rear quarter as per WRX. Thought the seats were only in 96 type RA tho.

Model and trim code only way to know.
 
Tried calling 3 times today with no answer, guess he doesnt want to sell it.

STI had colour coded door handles and mirrors. STI RA had matt black
 
looks like a nice winter project
always worry when a english man says solid shell
hopefully its not a waisted trip
 
I'll be crawling all over it, how can I check if it's the original engine, it has the dccd and the vin checks out as a Sti Ra V3

If it's not right I'll walk away.
