It's one of the first LC's - certainly an ex SEAT UK car... I was going to say it was one of the 'track' cars but they were all Y plates.

Probably ex press.

Cheers for the comments

Nice one, there's money in selling the leather interior for sure.
There very heavy too so would start off by stripping it out.
Mines a 210BHP LCR.
It's still on the standard map and with it being stripped out its a match for stage 2 LCR's

Looking forward to seeing the progess on it.
a stripped out one looks a bit like this

Good start buddy.

Get the heat gun and thinners out and get rid of the sound deadening.

Get the badges off the rear too, more weight

You going for plastic windows?
I see your inner door skins are gone already.
Have you removed the window carriers and screwed the glass inplace?
