The SEAT 1430: more elegance sedan
1969 SEAT 1430 came on the market. The popular model is a further development of the SEAT 124 and is regarded as the epitome of the perfect Spanish sedan. Recognition features are the double headlights (with the SEAT 124 had only luminaires are easy to spot) and the larger rear. Under the hood of a 51-kW engine (70 HP) with a displacement of 1.438 cm3. Thus, the SEAT 1430 is making around 7 kW (10 PS) more than the standard 1.2-Liter engine of the SEAT 124.
Although the Design of the SEAT 1430 is similar to that of his predecessor, granted the Spaniards the new model, with subtle Changes to the headlights, and the larger and more powerful engine, a completely different, more noble character. The production of the SEAT 1430 what is open until 1976, when finally, a further development of the SEAT 124 under the name “Pamplona” came on the market and the complete range of engines of the 1430. Of the “FU” (the letters to identify the chassis numbers) well-known model more than 255,000 copies were built available with the base engine of the 1430, or as a 1.6 – or 1.8 DOHC version.
The SEAT 1430 what is due to the Spanish car manufacturers so some of the highlights of his Motorsport history: The most powerful models were the Championships in the rally to be very successful and could decide the mid-70s, four Spanish rallies for themselves – a Golden age for SEAT Competicion, the former racing Department of the brand. Speaking of racing, Its engine so what is used in the formula 1430 – the first Spanish racing series for single-seaters, the SEAT at the beginning of the 70s. The formula 1430 was seen as a springboard for the Spanish racer.
The Ancestor of the Leon ST CUPRA*: the SEAT 1430 Especial 1600
Powerful combos are at the “sporty” car enthusiasts, as the success of the Leon ST CUPRA occupied. In the ‘ 70s that looked a bit different: at the Time, station wagons with a generous load area had a high utility value, however, the sporty Image.
That changed in 1974, when SEAT brought a wagon Version of the 1430 on the market – equipped with the 1.6 DOHC engine in the 1430-1600 (as FU). At a weight of only 980 kg, the SEAT 1430 Especial 1600 managed a power output of 70 kW (95 HP) and reached a maximum speed of 170 km/h. This performance would have been expected in that time, no one from a “good” combination.
The SEAT 1430 Especial 1600 (type: FM) which is ahead of its time so far – and the Spanish market for such a revolutionary model is not yet ready. Between 1974 and 1976, were therefore produced only 852 copies, then the manufacturing has been discontinued. As the successor to the SEAT 1430 Especial 1600 the SEAT came 131 station wagon on the market, equipped with a similarly powerful, but larger and heavier engine and much less sparkling.
The for the time, superior Performance, and only a small number of pieces of the SEAT 1430 Especial 1600 make him a very rare, collectors coveted model.
A unique piece of history: the SEAT 850 Sport Spider SEAT
The SEAT 850 Sport is to date, the only convertible ever produced by SEAT and so came in the year 1969 on the market.

The SEAT 850 Sport what is a two-seater convertible, which was the optional Hardtop available. It was designed by star Italian designer Bertone.
But not only the elegantly styled body of the Sport Spider was a milestone for SEAT, but also be the engine: Under the hood is a 38-kW gasoline engine (52 HP) what is with the 903 cm3 engine that was later used in the execution of the 850 as a sports coupe and the Foundation for a variety of future SEAT vehicles – up to an entry-level version of the new SEAT Ibiza* from the 80s.
From the SEAT 850 Sport Spider, a total of only 1.746 copies were built. In 1972, the production was set, therefore is a high priority for him in the history of the Spanish car manufacturer: The Sport Spider was left without a successor and is thus the only convertible ever made by SEAT.

*The stated fuel consumption and emission values were determined in accordance with the legally stipulated measuring method. Since 1. September 2017 to be certain a new car after the worldwide harmonised test procedures for Passenger and light commercial vehicles (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure, WLTP), a more realistic test method for the measurement of the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions type-approved. From 1. September 2018 will be the WLTP gradually replace the new European driving cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic conditions of the test, the WLTP measured fuel consumption and CO2 emission values are in many cases higher than the NEDC measured. For more information about the Differences between WLTP and NEDC, lake www.seat.de/ueber-seat/wltp-standard.html
Currently, the NEDC to communicate values is mandatory. If it is a new car, which are type-approved in WLTP, are derived from the NEDC-values of the WLTP-values. The additional indication of the WLTP-values can be made up to their mandatory use is voluntary. To the extent that the NEDC-values are given in ranges, they do not refer to a single, individual vehicle and are not part of the offer. They serve solely for purposes of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment features and accessories (attachment parts, format, etc.), you can Tire the relevant vehicle parameters such as e.g. weight, rolling change, resistance and aerodynamics-and, together with Weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior, the fuel consumption, the power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values of a vehicle affect.
Further information on official fuel consumption and the official specific emissions of CO2 can be taken from car emissions of new passenger cars in the “guidelines on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new Passenger cars”, at all sales outlets and at DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen (www.dat.de) is available for free.
