  SEAT Toledo (1999 - 2004) (Classics Reviews)
  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
• 
  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

  SEAT Toledo (1991 - 1999) (Classics Reviews)
  The Mk1 Toledo was the first Seat vehicle developed entirely under the Volkswagen Group. Based on the Mk2 Volkswagen Golf platform, it was actually larger than the equivalent Jetta with a 550-litre boot (complete with tailgate). Available in the UK from 1991, it was initally only availble
• 
  SEAT Marbella (1986 - 1998) (Classics Reviews)
  The SEAT Marbella was little more than a facelifted Fiat Panda. The Spanish company built its own version of the small Fiat at its ex-Authi factory in Pamplona, between 1980 and '86 - but following the separation of the two companies, SEAT found itself with the need to built its own cars
• 
  SEAT Ibiza (1985 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
  The SEAT Ibiza wasn't the first car designed by in-house, but it was a ground-breaker for SEAT by being the first to start with a clean sheet of paper following its independence from Fiat. Whereas the Sport used Fiat underpinnings and drivetrain, the Ibiza shared very little with what went
• 
  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 600 (1957 - 1973) (Classics Reviews)
  – and in Spain, the car that gave the people their mobility was the SEAT 600. First shown at the 1955 Geneva Motor Show, the new baby car was not only cheap to buy, but it also cost pennies to run. Based closely on Dante Giacosa's design for Fiat, the 600 finally went on sale May 1957, and was an instant sales

  SEAT 1200 and 1430 Sport (1975 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
  There’s no doubting the Seat 1200 Sport’s good looks, but its creation was a hard-nosed business one. The Spanish carmaker concluded that it wasn’t going to licence-build the Fiat 128 3P, and decided to build its own, based on the locally-built SEAT 124 instead.It was SEAT's
