Mark 1 Seat Ibiza - all gone?

[MK2VR6]

I was saying to the missus the other day that I can't remember the last time I saw a mark 1 Seat Ibiza. As in the 1985 to 92 ish kind of shape. She didn't even know what I was talking about. Are there any left?!

[magnumpi]

I saw one last week so not totaly extinct quite yet.

Yeah same here. 'Porsche Design' lol

[milfordcubicle]

Is it not SYSTEM PORSCHE?
I think they designed the engine valve cover or something.

ya , thats the one, i love the lil things, look quite good . wonder if they are like polos so you can chuck a mid 90's lump in... or in this case a 20v turbo lol

[Czechered Flag]

I think they're roughly Fiat based.

I also had a thread on here a long time ago on them.

I would love to build a rally replica.

More show than go.

Their shape in 2 door just suits it IMHO.

Not many around here, however I think many still unrusted in Spain.

Roadtrip ??

I think they're roughly Fiat based.

according to wiki the engines are all porsche appart from the 900cc which is fiat based (dunno where the diesel comes into that tho)

supposedly the car itself is based on the fiat ritmo

which I'm sure youll agree is a very cool looking car... not sure if the ibiza being the same car is true tho looking at them..

From this


To this




I'm pretty sure given the chance id own one... the look like a fun lil car and seem to have the italian querkyness down quite well..

Fiat pandas are another car that is rarely seen. Within the past year my local area has gone from 5 pandas, down to just mine
