SEAT 600

Common card · No. 464696

The SEAT 600 is a city car made in Spain by SEAT from 27 May 1957 to 3 August 1973, built under license from Fiat on the original Italian Fiat 600, designed by Dante Giacosa. It was offered in two-door saloon body style rear engine layout, although a four-door version was also offered as SEAT 800. It is considered a pop icon of the Spanish economic miracle. Measuring only 3.322 m (10.90 ft) long, it was launched in 1957 at an initial price of 65,000 pesetas (€390.66) without taxes. SEAT manufactured up to 797,319 SEAT 600s – and 18,200 SEAT 800s – at its factory in Barcelona's Zona Franca. Almost ten percent of the production was exported to countries such as Argentina, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, Finland, Poland, and Portugal. It was the best-selling car in Spain in 1958–1966, and in 1968, and in Finland in 1971–1973.
