  • SEAT 133 (1974 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
    The SEAT 133 was possibly one of the most pointless cars sold by Fiat dealers in the UK during the 1970s. It was a confusing product, too, because it was a strange mixture of old and new - the floorpan, engine and gearbox were taken from the SEAT 850, but the body styling was all-new, and looked
  • SEAT 1200 and 1430 Sport (1975 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)

    True seven-seater with more cheerful trim than its VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy equivalents. Good car-like drive.
  • SEAT Arosa (1997 - 2005) (Classics Reviews)
    When the time came to replace the Seat Marbella, parent firm Volkswagen had a pretty clear idea about what kind of car Seat’s super compact city car should be. Out went the Panda-based Marbs, and in came a badge-engineered version of the Volkswagen Lupo. The Seat was launched a few

    Sitting awkwardly in the mid-size saloon market, the Seat Toledo wasn't a big deal in the hatchback obsessed UK market. Which is shame because it was a good car and better to drive than the MkIV Golf on which it was based. It was also neatly styled, thanks
