2005 Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.9 TDi - Project Car Opportunity
Presenting a 2005 Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.9 TDi with a fascinating history and potential for enthusiasts. This vehicle boasts 138,000 miles on the odometer and a meticulous service record, substantiated by a comprehensive collection of receipts. The current MOT is valid until 22nd November 2023, and the car is currently SORN'd.
Originally intended as a project car, I had envisioned pouring my time and efforts into it. However, due to constraints of time and space, I've decided to pass it on to someone who can fully realize its potential.
Loaded with the customary Cupra refinements, the car features Seat Sport front AP 4 piston brakes. The standard configuration delivers 160bhp with 239lb/ft torque, but there are indications that it may be enhanced with a stage 1 remap. What makes this particular model even more remarkable is its rarity - only 471 were manufactured, and a mere 249 are left in existence.
Recent enhancements include new front brakes and suspension, along with an Alpine head unit (original head unit available). Despite its age of 18 years, the car remains in commendable overall condition, though it does have a few areas requiring attention. Some minor car park dings grace the bodywork, and there's slight paint discoloration on the bonnet. The instrument cluster hails from an FR model, and the driver's seat outer bolster displays mild wear. Moreover, it's prudent to note that the air conditioning might require a recharge.
This 2005 Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.9 TDi represents an exciting prospect for those who value a project car with a rich history. With some dedication and care, it holds the potential to become a remarkable specimen of its kind, capturing the essence of its era while offering modern-day driving pleasure.
