Ex-Seat UK Ibiza Rally Sprint car:250bhp forged engine 6speed sequential dog box Below is a full description of this item, which would cost over £30k to replicate as it stands. For more details or to discuss, please call us on 01299 251152.
Built from an original Seat UK factory motorsport demo & track car, Specialist Vehicle Preparations on Droitwich near Worcester, recently took this Seat sprint and hillclimb race car in part-exchange. We did a bit of work to get its rally logbook including fitting new Seats and harnesses, so in date for the next five years. We are still developing the package: it is entered on the Glyn Memorial Stages Rally on November 1-2 at Anglesey.
Our plan was to convert it to a full factory F2 Kit Car replica, but realistically we have too many projects on the go. We would be happy to work with a new owner to see it built as an F2 replica with wide rear arches and massive roof spoiler, Toni Gardemeister style!
This Seat Ibiza 1.8 16v GTi was comprehensively overhauled by the previous owner. Tens of thousands were spent on modifications for Sprint and Hillclimb championship racing. When we got our hands on it, we added the parts required for rallying and took it to the recent Patriot Rally. Therefore it holds TWO current competition logbooks: one for Sprint and Hillclimb and one for Rallying!
With a highly potent 250bhp Mike Callaghan engine running forged internals and 48mm throttle bodies, a 6-speed dog box with LSD, high quality suspension and the usual lightweight race preparation, this fast and nimble Seat hatchback would make an exceptional rally car, and is already a proven championship winning race package in sprint racing (2010 LCMC Championship winner). 
If you want to run a full stage rally championship, win MSA sprint races in Modified Series Production 1400-2000cc or do a mix of both with some trackdays over the next few years in a unique and interesting car, this ex-factory Seat ticks all the boxes. The new owner can take it away and add their stamp over winter, or use our entry on Glyn Memorial to get their tenure up and running! We are happy to help on the event.1996 Model 1.8 16V GTI N247XVVSeat UK factory car used for trackdays and demos of new Ibiza, than a WRC carFeatured in a BBC Top Gear video with full cast including ClarksonAdjacent registration to N246XVV, factory Group A rally car and later F2 rally carENGINE
