Just the uk cars. However there were some ice blue STI's with the black interior sold in Europe as the Solberg Edition, these were standard 265ps cars with standard wheels , suspension and no driving lights but they did have the dccd. I seem to recall they also did these in world rally blue and possibly red. :)

True.

But WR1mposter's car is a Petter Solberg which he bought as RHD from abroad and then added the bits and pieces on Prodrive put on it to make it the 'WR1' in the UK.

Subaru made 1000 MY2004 cars to celebrate Solberg's world title by giving them a non standard colour (the Ice Blue) and the DCCD (which only came standard on all STi's from 2005). They were exported to Europe, South Africa and Australia. Never to US.
500 of these were sold in the UK as WR1 after receiving the Prodrive upgrades, the other 500 were sold in the other countries as 'Petter Solberg Limited Edition'. As there are quite a few RHD countries inthere, that gives plenty of opportunities to find a RHD Solberg and turn it into a 'WR1' after importing it into the UK...
