I was still cutting my teeth when the mk1 Cupra R was for sale. The dealership I worked for at the time had a black, red and yellow one side by side on the display stand on the forecourt, they were mega. Miles more exciting to look at than the Golf GTI, R32, Octavia VRS or Audi S3 that were the best offerings from the rest of VWG.

Interestingly, the later models were the first cars that I ever remember having transport chocks in the suspension when they were delivered. They come in pretty much everything now, often end up in the bin, but make an excellent repair bracket for broken wardrobe rail hangers...

These motors are all lovely, but you know what? There's a special place in my heart for an Ovni yellow Mk1 Cupra R, especially if it's a BAM. It takes me right back to the good old days 😍
Always loved them. Worked my way through 5 mk1’s from my first 1.6S in 2002 to my current yellow R. Can’t beat em in my opinion.

Agreed.
"my" era of motor as well (although I was in the Škoda camp in those days).

I was fortunate enough to have both. Never had the mk1 but a mk2 VRS in race blue I had for 13 years. Bought new in 2006 cause I didn’t warm to the mk2 Leon.
But looks wise the mk1 Leon still wins for me.
I do prefer mk1 Octavia VRS these days to the mk2 and would quite happily have one in my fleet if I had the money.
