SEAT 127

The SEAT 127 is a supermini produced by the Spanish automaker SEAT between the spring of 1972 and 1982, a rebadged Fiat 127 built in Spain. SEAT did also offer versions with rear side doors, which were never built in Italy. SEAT produced 1,238,166 units of the 127 between 1972 and 1982.

Overview

First series (1972–1977)

Due to SEAT design policy, a four-door variant of the car was added to the lineup in 1973. While usually fitted with the same 903 cc engine as in the Fiat 127, SEAT also produced a unique variant of the 127 OHV engine. This had 1010 cc instead of 903 cc and produced rather than the of the smaller unit.

Second series (1977–1982)

The SEAT 127 underwent the same styling modifications as did the Fiat 127 for the Serie 2, of January 1980. At the same time, a full five-door hatchback bodywork also became available.

Third series (1981–1986)

In November 1981, the last evolution of the SEAT 127 was presented as "SEAT 127 Fura". The 127 Fura was nearly identical to the Italian Fiat 127 series 3. When their licence from Fiat expired, SEAT redesigned some parts of the car and renamed it the SEAT Fura.
