I did wonder where the fourth Toledo had gone to, as Motorbase bought two and a bit cars in 2006. The bit being the one that Plato had a massive crash in at Brands 2004.

Have to say, as much as I like the Leon, I preferred the Toledo as a touring car, it just looks like a proper touring car should.

Thought they had effectively disbanded SEAT Sport UK, Northern South Ltd don't appear to show up any longer either, they used to have their own website now gone.

Do SEAT still own the building on Weddell Way and use it simply for storage, I knew they were considering holding onto one or two cars for prosperity, ie company archive as such.

Odd because as far as I can see they have no function, Special Tuning UK were looking at supplying parts direct from SEAT Sport (Spain) for the aborted UK Leon Cupra Championship.

Why have an entirely separate company working with SEAT Sport when SEAT UK still seemingly have an outfit in the UK.

Quite odd. I can see somewhere storing them from an archive point of view, but unsure as to why SEAT Sport UK still exists without any function.

This is at Racing Line who run the VW Cup and Volkswagen Racing.

Let's just say the other stuff is complicated :)
