Daewoo Finally Sorted Out 17 Oct 2002 (News)

SEAT celebrates its 60th birthday 11 May 2010 (News)
The 1960s The appeal of the 600 lasted throughout the 1950s and 60s and this small car was lovingly dubbed simply ‘seiscientos' in its homeland. It is to Spain no less than the Citroen 2CV is to France, the Fiat 500 to Italy, the Mini to the United Kingdom and the Volkswagen Beetle to Germany - a people's car.
