In 1968, Seat took over the mid-size sedan 124 of the then parent company Fiat from Italy and produced it under license until 1980. However, the Spanish brand wasn’t satisfied with this model. Quickly, the in-house development department set about putting a spin-off with more comfort and higher engine power. This debuted as early as 1969 at the Motor Show in Barcelona as the 1430. This name derived from the slightly rounded displacement of 1,438 cubic centimeters, which had ten additional horsepower compared to the base 124, exactly 70 hp. Four years later, the performance increased to 75 hp, while in parallel the offers were extended by the 1430 Especial 1600 with 1.6 liters of displacement and 95 hp. Compared to the 124, the 1430 received dual headlights and modified rear lights. In addition to the four-door sedan, there was also a station wagon called ‘5 puertas’ (5 doors) available.<\/p>\n\n\n
