See the new SEAT Leon Cupra 280

We've seen it and you can too - before it's even been officially unveiled at Geneva

---

Having driven the new SEAT Leon Cupra 280 anticipation is building ahead of its arrival in the UK. But now there's the opportunity for PHers to experience the car prior to its UK arrival - or even its international debut - thanks to a unique competition exclusively here on PistonHeads.

But how does it look in the flesh? You can tell us!

Before the covers come off the new car at the Geneva show, SEAT UK and PH are offering four PHers the chance to explore the Leon Cupra 280 at a secret venue on Saturday March 1. Though under wraps, the location is approximately an hour from London so please bear this in mind when entering! We can't reveal any more at this stage but it promises to be a unique and exciting experience.

To be in with a chance of this opportunity to experience the new Leon Cupra 280 before any other customers, simply fill in the competition form below. It will ask you about what you drive currently and why you should be picked for the event.

There are four places up for grabs and SEAT will be making a video of the day so you'll have to be prepared for your 15 minutes of fame - in other words comb your hair and make sure you're wearing a PH T-shirt. For reasons that will become clear on the day winners will also have to be within a specific physical size range so make sure you read the terms and conditions thoroughly to make sure you fulfil all the criteria.

The competition closes on Sunday (February 23) at midnight. There's not long to enter, so be quick!

Good luck, and be sure to post back on the forums after the event if you are a lucky winner.

Between 5'4'' and 6' and under 14 stone! That'll eliminate a fair few entrants. Is it on the world's smallest, flimsiest rollercoaster? At 6'5'' and decidedly more than 14 stone I'm out

The powerfully built director types around here will be disappointed but then they wouldn't be seen dead in a Seat

[graham22]

Having seen the powerfully built MDs on PH meets I think you'll struggle to find 4 entrants!!!

I can't enter my mobile number as it says it is over 15, which I don't understand...

I'm having this trouble too. I'm not mathematician, but I can't figure out the link between my mobile number and 15...

[poing]

Under 14 stone? I guess I could chop off a leg as it doesn't mention needing two of those.

Sorry about the problem with the mobile number, we're looking into it

Me too... also 6ft5 and around 4stone too heavy for their ridiculous requirements!

I'd suggest best not to enter the competition then! :-p If you have to though, what I did was put a number less than 15 in the mobile box and used some of the 150 words to enter my mobile no.

[Yorkshirepud]

I fall into those sizes perfectly, but I'm not MD...

I'm probably also prime candidate, looking to replace my Mk1 LCR!

Unfortunately I live in Yorkshire and am moving house the day before the event

[greggy50]

Well as I am 6 foot 3 guess that rules me out

Hope all you short people have an enjoyable day

[mnkiboy]

With the height and size restrictions, I wonder if there's some sort of single seater driving experience involved? Within an hour of London, Brands Hatch?

OK, well clearly means we wont be looking at a SEAT when we replace a daily driver...

That's the annoying thing; if the ergo in this car is anything like a Mk7 Golf (which is a pretty good assumption) then it'll suit taller people perfectly. Way to put people off the brand.

[Dr Interceptor]

I would have quite fancied a look at this too - having a Mk 7 Golf R on order for April delivery!

[va1o]

I'd have quite enjoyed this having owned a couple of SEATs and now driving its main rival (Golf GTI)... but the height restriction rules me out

[delboy735]

I'm short enough, but around a stone too heavy ( packed with muscle obviously ) ....but I'm no MD, and I also live in Yorkshire....I do drive a Leon though !! Can't enter

[wst]

Hmm... Millbrook Proving Ground's about an hour from London.

I'm 6'1 and within the weight limit. I guess I can rest easy knowing I'm an inch too big for something.

If I got a bit enthusiastic with a ped-egg I might make the height limit?

[leef44]

Well, no harm in entering. There are a few occasions when being a shortie has its advantages. Who knows, I might even get picked. I did once win a magic stick from a Daily Mirror competition 35 years ago...hhhmmmm.. that was the last time I ever won anything..

[eybic]

The height and weight thing is purely H&S with regards to the experience and not relevant to the road car's internal size so please don't think that a 6ft 2" 15 stone company director won't be able to fit in one
