La histórica firma que podría desaparecer de los concesionarios en los próximos años es historia viva de España. El gran patrimonio automovilístico de la marca se custodia en la Nave A-122 de la Zona Franca de Barcelona, donde se cuida y conserva la valiosa colección de Seat Históricos. Leer
Seat, founded in 1957, has transformed Spain's mobility landscape since its first Seat 600 rolled off the production line in June 1957. The historic automaker, once a cornerstone of the Spanish automotive industry, may soon disappear from dealerships as Volkswagen plans to pivot Cupra as its leading brand by the end of the decade.
However, before its potential departure, Seat boasts a rich heritage, as evidenced by its extensive collection of historic vehicles preserved in the Nave A-122 of Barcelona's Free Zone. The collection features 241 vehicles spanning the brand's 76-year history, showcasing not only popular models that propelled Spain's automotive revolution, but also cutting-edge prototypes and the pioneering Cupra Raval, Spain's first 100% electric car.
The Nave A-122, which also houses the Papamvil, a Seat Panda transformed into a special vehicle for Pope John Paul II's visit to Spain in 1982, provides a glimpse into the brand's enduring impact on Spanish society and its unwavering commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
