Mk1 SEAT Ibiza & Malaga Register

[mk2_craig]

Was the Ronda 5 door flavour only?  No 3 door or convertible?

And presumably Malaga not produced in estate form?

Correct x2

'Seat Malaga Super Weekend', would sound much more exciting than 'Fiat Regata Super Weekend', I have to say.

What an interior, I quite like that! Do you know the name of its colour at all? It's a sharp gold shade that I'm not sure I've seen before (maybe from an old Fiat palette?) It's certainly not the much paler Kalahari Beige that my second Ibiza GLX was finished in.

I dunno, Regatta seemed posh, sailing or boating fans

You could build one. A bit like some people have chucked a Rover 45 front on an old Civic Aerodeck estate. 

Or you could not bother, given that only about seven people would appreciate the effort.

I love this billy basic 1.2 Ronda, its been for sale for yonks and is now down to 1200€

I can't decide if its had a colour change from red to white though, theres bits of red paint poking through here and there. Still looks excellent

[Mr_Bo11ox]

This one looks good too although its got the fiat OHV engine not the System Porsche job. 1800€

Didn't know the MK1 Ibiza was built in China for a while. Production ended in 2008!

Go on then, you know what to do...

Sadly I now have to sit still for a while and do some paid work to recover the costs of my big shite round-up!!!!

Defiantly worth it! 😂 

 

I must admit a Ronda is getting very tempting, there seems to be plenty for sale in Spain.

In case you were in any doubt what a sad bastard I am, here’s me in 1992 exploding in joy at finding a SEAT Ibiza GLX.

Have you got SEAT's heritage Ibiza on there?

It came to the Parkers office. People were confused by the existence of a "choke" control 😕

This is long enough ago it could have rusted away by now.

On SORN, was MOT’d until end of Dec 23 but not at the moment.

Can’t be that long ago, as there is one of those minging current Hyundai Tucsons next to it, launched mid 2021 I think?

XTREME RARITY - Fibreglass-bodied 'IMESA' Seat Malaga pickup truck, engine gubbed apparently, €2500

It wasn't - I was there and took that picture 😂 I think 2019 or 20 but before lockdown

Had know idea these even existed, guessing they never made it across the channel in RHD. This would be proper cool to have in the collection… 

[HillmanImp]

This just came up on my Amazon memories. 

Not my photo but one I'd saved. 

No idea where it was taken though.

I had a dream last night that I was in a convoy from Shitefest going to somewhere or other (the dream didn't specify where, or if it did I can't remember), and we passed a white Seat Malaga estate going the other way.  We all pulled over in a layby and were desperately trying to find SEATMad's number to text him to let him know.

Yes I do know I'm a sad cunt.

[MantaGTE85]

That Amazon photo could be from the late '80s, when the car was box-fresh. Didn't the Malaga GLX come available in all engine choices, the 1.2, 1.5 and Fiat 1.7D?

[sierraman]

Wonder what that little hut saying ‘Films’ was all about. World’s smallest video shop? 

[wesacosa]

just seen on Facebook not sure if its on your list.. He also seems to be searching for a Malaga to go with it 

 

[Datsuncog]

Found this in the attic the other day:

Probably a '90s motor show item.

[neil72]

i also saw the Mk1 blue Ibiza about a year ago.

[HillmanImp]

Was the Gredos only sold in LHD or would there be RHD ones existing in Cyprus?

[sierraman]

Didn’t Malaga mean something crude in Greek? 

[wuvvum]

It sounds similar to an insult that roughly translates as "arsehole".

[warren t claim]

[mk2_craig]

It would be nice to think that at least of one of those is still rattling around the Isle of Wight.
