After 7 years of ownership, I have bid farewell to my beloved Tarraco. It has been perfectly flawed, hence a truly magnificent car to own.

Time though took its toll and the rattling and niggles became quite common; also (despite being deceptively spacious), our growing family of 5 outsized it, hence something bigger was necessary (I know, WTF moment but true).

My kids grew up in the Tarraco to become adults and it has taken us around Europe in comfort (and speed as well on the German Autobahn :) ) for a total of 65000 miles of automotive bliss.

I have opted for the Mazda CX-80 in Homura trim with the CDA pack that only misses the sunroof, it is an absolute monster of a car but we need the space and it has it in abundance (325bhp is not bad either :) ).

As you may (or not for that matter) know I have been maintaining the Accessories and OBD threads which are going to be "frozen" as they are currently.

Evidently, I like to mod and kit my cars, so a number of accessories are available (listed below), they are also listed on eBay, so FCFS (First Come First Served).

All the accessories are linked to the relevant entry in the Accessories thread where available, they all come in immaculate condition (unless otherwise stated). Many of these accessories are not available commercially any more, so grab a bargain for your Tarraco!

Collection only from Birmingham B29 unless you want to arrange your own courier as many of them are either heavy or awkwardly shaped or both. Can help with fitting on the spot if required!

Happy motoring. It must have started to become tricky to get them in the third row. I think yours came with that row.

Well you survived Seat not producing a refreshed Tarraco when they refreshed the Kodiaq. These cars date back to when Vag had 3 SUV sizes per brand making 3x3 = 9, SUVs if we forget Audi. Pity we never got the Elteca and only Skoda got the Elrog the electric sized version of the Karoq (Ateca).

The Seat / Cupra line up is a bit like Swiss cheese thinned out by the holes in it created by developing EVs and doing less or being unique with the Cupra. Thinning to get Cupra as distinct from Seat although all the same design house in Spain. The EVs are now taking shape but if ICE you could look elsewhere. Fun times. Suppose to be new Seats in 2028. Octopus 🐙 Agile giving away, rather paid to use electricity today. Local MG EV plugged in on home charging in the day, supping up electrons and the owner being paid for it. Interesting times. Keeping with ICE for the time being but I'd go EV if I needed to change cars.
