Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Seriously under priced performance car, will be a future classic in a few years due to limited number sold. Will keep up with an Overpriced Ford RS (mk1) and leave behind a similar aged Civic Type-R. Note Parkers have these priced wrong, a good Cupra R will be in the 3k - 4k range but some are in the 2.5K range if the seller needs a quick sale on a tatty one. Note these are excellent to modify and most have been. Biggest issue is the door locks fail (had two fail on mine) and the door seals can leak. The front running gear is from an Audi TT (mk1) with an S3 engine pretty much, so quality components under the bonnet.
