Not personally my cup of tea, but roll cage, decals, and kit look fairly authentic. Is this for real (ie. a SEAT track car run by SEAT, and not just a replica)?

LOL, ive just this minute been reading that, makes me wonder if he does part chop it into the Garage, they remove the roll cage, revert it all back to OEM looking and advertise it as One Careful Owner !!!!1

genuine ex track car.

i think they were sold with ~ 9k on the clock & all needing some love.

I've seen a few of these about you know - most have a company name and contact on tailgate. I did see a LC 180 done the same also. All yellow, all with big 'cupra'....

never seen one for sale though...

There were 'double figures' of them available on ebay when they were selling them off I believe. They always do it... put a custom cages cage in, some TRS harnesses and rag the sh*t out of them!

what a tit, if you were part exing it in, surely you would have spend a saturday afternoon and cut out the roll cage and put back to oem.

although those in the know woul dhave known that most of the 02 plate ones were pre reg for press track cars.

i saw one of these up at listers and lets just say the milage may have shown 15k on it but x that by 4 cos all 15k had been flat out looking at the conditon of it.

 

[Revo Kev]

They're bolt in cages... only the mounts would need to be cut out!

Looks very similar to the one that used to sit outside Camberley Seat last year.

If it is there were a few scratches to the body work

Is this not one of the ex-rockingham cars?

 

[YerMother]

It would make a good track car if you could get it at the right price!

 

[Revo Kev]

It'd need a lot doing to it to make it into a 'good' track car!

 

[Scotty_b]

Camberly seat were selling a couple of those a while back. Maybe this is one of them. Hasnt had it long if so! wonder if he wasnt to sell the recaros!

 

[Chaz]

Am sure this is one of Camberley's cars.... sure I recognise the plate!

 

[cupra wannabe]

just looks like the lcr ive got only with a few stickers and a roll cage??!

 

[16v-cuprasport]

Bet it goes well,being an ex track day car..............not a big fan of the C U P R A down the side!!

i placed a bid on it last night and when i woke up this morning i had a message from the seller that nearly gave me a heart attack. he gave me a second chance offer
i dont know if he was joking or not.
