Route to U.K./Ireland

[Damo7]

A question for the brain trust here, what route do the cars take to the UK. Where do SEAT cars get the boat?

Mine came from Spain and arrived in the UK at Port of Tyne.

When the car was delivered to the dealer I was nearby and dropped in and it still had all the shipping info and build sheet stuff attached.

Do the boats come direct from Spain. Is it santander?

No idea, the only info on the sticker on the window was:-

Plant - 49 Martorell, Spain
Delivery Address - England Tyne

Everything else is VIN numbers, production numbers etc.

Thanks, I expect Emden is where it'll go. It was built 2 weeks ago but still showing as in marotell

I'm not certain it's still the same, but back in 2014 when I bought mine SEAT shipped UK orders from Barcelona to either Sheerness - where mine went, or Port of Tyne for northern counties. I don't know if Irish orders would be shipped separately or not but I imagine they may be. My car came over on a ship called Galicia... Very, very slowly.

SEAT martorell is linked to Barcelona docks with a dedicated train line.

Showing up where? Do SEAT have an order tracker now?

Mine came on the Galicia as well.

Thanks for the info... that ship left the port and will be in emden in 5 days. Hopefully I'm on it...
