Partly inspired by this and similar previous threads, I've recently finished a long-running project to put together every nugget of works car research into one place:

www.SeatSport.info

Hopefully quite interesting for various!

There's a stack of Ibiza pics to wade through here.

... videos here including a build video ...

... and quite a nice history coming together on the Kit Cars themselves, various Kit Car owners having been in touch to help with the long-running jigsaw puzzle.

Ibiza Kit Car chassis & history

I've just been reading back through this thread - hopefully that answers some of the long-running questions.

If anyone has anything else to add to the website, I'll be only too glad. Pls PM me to arrange. Many thanks.

Enjoy

Great resource, I'll be sure to have a good read through. Happy to plug it for you.

**ZBOYD** · 24-02-2010, 21:24

SEAT promotional video for the Mk1 Leon Supercopa - not fantastic quality but feel free if its useful.

Great vid, fantastic - just the sort of media that needs to be put in the vault !

**ZBOYD** · 24-02-2010, 21:33

We have a meeting at SEAT UK on Saturday, so I'll be sure to mention this to them, they might be able to contribute something of interest or allow us to gain access to historical info that would benefit the archive.

Chris Eyre · 24-02-2010, 22:14

All appreciated - they must have some original media pack information on file, which would be well worth capturing!

Chris,

Found some video's from the dutch Euregio Rally from a couple of years ago..
Uploaded them all on youtube :-)
Can't post any linkies yet, so you have to go to youtube yourself, and search for
"Euregio Seat Ibiza Rally Kitcar" there are 18 vid's.

Enjoy

edit: Oh by the way, I found them at imra.nl

Chris Eyre · 14-04-2010, 13:24

Thanks Hakko - I think this is one of them:

I've never managed to get a trace on that car. Do you know anything about it?

hakkow · 14-04-2010, 13:41

That would be the car of a driver called Abbring (rear window

)

Can't find any information on his website though..

here are the results of the Euregio 2005 rally
http://www.therallysite.com/joomla/i...=415&Itemid=80

It shows Edwin Abbring & Martin de Groot on 14th place

edit:
This is the same car (licence plate)

Chris Eyre · 14-04-2010, 14:17

Thanks - I wondered if they were the same car.

There have been a number of drivers - possibly a rental?

The research continues....

Brilliant - now confirmed as formerly B-7500-TK, which is the 1998 Gwyndaf Evans British Championship car / 1999 Barbara Armstrong car

Thought it was, since 7500 was known to have been in Holland

hakkow · 15-04-2010, 08:34

Nice find!

ps; at least we dutchmen did a better job at the paint+decal part

oh ps2: The bottom 2 links of the setup page don't work.. think there's a typo in the first part

Chris Eyre · 15-04-2010, 16:13

Great - thanks for flagging those though I'm sure you found the files!

Now fixed

**andyj** · 16-04-2010, 13:13

Some cracking research you've pulled together there Chris. Have bookmarked it for future lunchtime reading

Hi Hakko, nice finds. The last one is 2494 DJD, which is Evo 1 chassis, IK004.

Baporo of the official preparer/maintainer of ex-works Ibizas and Cordoba WRCs. I have a copy of the announcement which confirms the handover, effective 1 Dec 2003. The Spanish works team was moving to concentrate its activities on the Supercopa and other racing activities.

The Ibiza startingnumber "0" looks like Soler with the IK209. Nice!
