Black 21 plate Formentor at the Tesco petrol station in Purley. Was it you? I was having a tab by my VZ2 in the main store car park. Didn't want to take a photo just in case you thought I was some weird stalker nutter...

Someone has recently taken delivery of a new grey V2 on the avenue I walk my dog through most nights. Near Accrington, Lancs. Personalized plate - T123 ***.
Bit gutted seeing as my V2 is currently 4 weeks overdue with no updates from the dealer! 😂😥

I've seen a Light Grey Formentor in the Norwich area recently. Could be a dealer demo car, as this was on the NDR not far from the dealer.
The only other ones I've seen are at the dealer.
I'm wondering if this car actually exists, and if the dealer showroom stock are clay models. Maybe the test drive that I did was a dream?

VZ2 (I think), grey, sainsburys chafford hundred car park this evening. Saw you drive off and it sounded good. I was the one pointing and telling the other half... that's my new car! Her reaction showed that she is clearly not as excited as me 😁

Currently down deepest darkest Kent for a family Christmas, surprised at how rare the Formentor seems “Darrn Sarrf” tbh, certainly in this neck of the woods (Headcorn) think I’ve seen three others locally🤔
Mind, they were all ‘Proper’ Cupra’s, not my poverty entry V2🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jaguar F Pace seem to be the car of choice down here, it’s like they’re breeding!🥴

You get hot spots around dealers and how good they are. While a Seat dealer is local here in deepest rural Wales, lots of Seats many more than you'd see in NE London. Formentor in this rural location pop up a fair bit. Think they are Seat folk who went for the Formentor although they aren't a Cupra dealer. They said they could order them in.

Will have to ask whether the Cupras I see round here are anything to do with them. Theory would be hot spot Seat area areas also contain Formentor hot spots who are Seat folk that kept with the Spanish designed VAG cars even though there isn't a local Cupra dealership. Shame they split the brand since Cupras look better. Suspect your average Seat dealer doesn't service Cupras.

My nearest Cupra DEALER is Preston which is a good couple of hours away, however we do have a Seat dealership who is “Cupra authorised” which means they can service and carry out Cupra work, only 45-50 minutes away, when I asked why they’re not a dealer of Cupra (They sell a LOT secondhand but aren’t allowed to sell brand new) it’s all down to the fact that because the Cupra brand is a separate brand now the showroom must be big enough to accommodate The Cupra brand separate from the Seat (They have a fairly small showroom)
