Car close to being replaced and having to comply with WLTP testing for every spec combination likely meant them needing to seriously cut down the options list. Especially when RHD tested cars sell in two countries only, whereas the rest of Europe is LHD.
New to the forum!
My Cupra 290 from the Zen deal back in November is finally booked for delivery on 11th June. It had been slated for delivery on 4th April but due to Covid-19 it's been sitting gathering dust somewhere in Peterborough! My previous Cupra 300 lease went back a couple of weeks ago and given the delays Zen arranged a courtesy car which was pretty good of them. A diesel VW Passat is not exactly what I was expecting but beggars can't be choosers! Can't wait to hand back this hearse and get back in a Cupra!!!

Depends how much you need a car soon and if it was a good deal IMO. In production now means you're likely looking at 6-8 weeks or so until it's at the dealers.
I'm surprised they are still building MK3's; I had imagined that production would be turned over to the MK4 now.
Dealer informed me new Cupra not until next year so I guess they fulfill existing orders and build few extra to meet dwindling demand.
It takes that long just for shipment from Barcelona to the dealer so your car must be built.
Not sure. He sounded a little stressed as it was his first day back at work so I didn’t push for more info then that.
Just to upset you......
I'm paying around 300 for my Cupra ST AND my TVR Griffith 500 . I am 'ancient' with lots of grey hair and an advanced driver though......
Good hunting!!!
My car is due to be delivered tomorrow, I have used Sainsburys Insurance is under 400 with a low excess. But I am over 40....
Not today, but a year ago: My Cupra R ST was delivered at the dealer, being the first in the Netherlands. It was the end of a long wait since the introduction at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2018. That was the moment I decided this was the car I wanted, after a long time search for a Cupra Carbon Edition (that was never imported in the Netherlands). From the introduction till the moment it was possible to order took another 14 months (with almost weekly contact with my favorite dealer, thank you Paul for all your info and enthousiasm!) but than within an hour the deal was done! Nine weeks after that: the big moment, happy me!
And I'm not too far off twice your age....... Enjoy your new arrival.
I'm enjoying mine so much the TVR rarely gets out of the garage!!!
Its more there to protect the driver whilst they get used to it than the engine
Like you I'm paying a lot less for something far more fruity & with track cover! Guess these have fairly high theft risk in comparison.
Thats pretty good - mines just a shade under £500 with 15k miles a year.
