The car that launched #Seat will celebrate its 65th anniversary tomorrow. The #Seat 1400, a luxurious and elegant saloon, marked the beginning of the brand’s story and formed the platform for its future success.
The first #Seat 1400 – with registration plate number B-87.223 – rolled off the Zona Franca factory in Barcelona on the 13th November 1953, just three years after the brand had been formed. At the time the production rate was just five vehicles a day during the first year, but that number would rapidly climb and priced at 117,000 pesetas (around 705€).
Conceived as the vehicle to build the foundations of SEAT’s business, the 1400, was an impressively executed four-door, front engine, rear-wheel drive saloon, equally at home as an official state authority vehicle or providing transportation to the masses as a public taxi.
