Never understood the appeal of the STO. I'd rather buy an M Edition.

Better color?

It wasn't given the name 'stuff taken off' for nothing

[— Phatmiata —]

you would think if they knew it was the actual number 1 of the lot they would have taken better care of it?

With the faded paint, worn interior the number really does not matter at this point.

meh if I was looking for a project I'd think being number 1 could add a little story but I'd need to know it was still a sound car.

Wasn't the STO the only time a NA8 had leather but not the Torsen?

I believe so

The following were not available from the factory on the STO:
cruise control, ABS, Torsen LSD, Premium Sound System, electric antenna, factory hardtop

I always thought it was funny that a "touring" model didn't have cruise control.
