Why Seat? Even if it is a Seat, Model Origin would surely be Italy for an Abarth 131 in full rally spec? -- Last edit: 2011-04-24 01:43:57 |

It was listed this way in entry list, I saw once. I was also a bit surprised. Origin is indeed debatable. |

As many Seat (most of those before the Ronda) should be origin=Italy, this one could be too |

Not very, as they made them on their own (and with some notable modification - different engines - well from FIAT as well D: , but in different configurations). The car fully produced on license in particular country (by independent or partially independent factory), can't be compared with the one, which is for example only assembled from imported parts. Here the situation is different however, as perhaps entire car was built in Italy... |

1979 Polish rally [39 Rajd Polski] was won by the Spanish driver Antonio Zanini who drove works Seats. Can't find photos of his real car, but it has been modelled by Scala Link to "www.rallye-fanshop.com" and as a slot car by SCX http://www.slotcarpitstop.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=SCX_62970&cat=5 so agree this one is recognised as Seat. But as we've agreed, car was probably Italian-made. |

Yes, but to makes it more complicated, I've just found some entry lists of 1978 edition (on the pic) where it is listed as Fiat... For example: http://republika.pl/czajla/polski/1978/index.htm I bet it was the same car in 1978, 1979 and 1980. |

In fact the car despite "Seat" lettering at the body, had the "Fiat" grille badge, so now I think it had to be "just" a Seat team. -- Last edit: 2013-10-01 22:30:35 |
