Morning all,

Coming back to the site after many years away. Will be picking up my MK1 Cupra R next week. 2003 with 44k on the clock. Very excited to be back in a 1.8 20VT. Had 3 of these between 2004 - 2012. I had been searching for a low miler for the last 3 years and have now finally found one.

It was owned by a chap who only used it as a weekend car since 2009. Been garaged ever since, hence the condition. All stock and original.

If retired, two car household you dont do the mileage. I use to do 120,000 miles in mine before I outed them. One the wretched diesel engine would not start in the winter, outed that at 10 years, sold it to my brother for £400. ZX. He had a thing for TR7s. Had five of them. Five or six motor bikes... 15 bikes.. . The smokey old diesel kept him going for another 8 years. It started up first time and went to the knackers yard.

Welcome back.
Looks in amazing condition.
Like yourself I had a few mk1’s back in the day. Bought one same colour as yours in 2017, now have an Onvi yellow one on 81k.
A few original owners coming back to them now. Shows how good they are.
