Own every SEAT.
SEAT stands for Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo. It was founded in Barcelona in 1950 by the Spanish state with Fiat's backing. It put Spain on wheels by building Italian designs under licence. Volkswagen took it over in 1986. It became a full brand of the group in the 1990s.

SEAT
1968–1980
Spain's economic boom carried the SEAT 124 to 896,136 sales. Built under licence from Fiat in Barcelona and Pamplona, it got a facelift from Giorgetto Giugiaro in 1975, swapping its round headlights for rectangular ones, and the 124 and 1430 were merged into a single range.

1972–1982 · Inline-4
The SEAT 127 was a Spanish-built Fiat 127, but SEAT went further than Fiat: it offered versions with rear side doors, never built in Italy, including a four-door without a hatchback lid. SEAT also gave it its own 1010 cc engine, producing 52 PS instead of the 903 cc unit's output.

SEAT
1975–1984 · Inline-4
Its fame came from the taxi rank. With a 2.5-litre diesel of 72 hp instead of the 49 hp Perkins it became one of Spain's most successful taxis in the early 1980s. The car itself was a rebadged Fiat saloon. Turin had unveiled it nine months before its Barcelona debut in May 1975.
