MiniMinorMk3 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 There's a bit of history here Stories of road transport in Catalonia: La Siata del senyor Felipe de Barcelona. (historiatransportcat.blogspot.com) Quote The popular small Siata vans were manufactured in Tarragona by the company SIATA ESPAÑOLA SA, owned by the Italian eponymous company. SIATA ESPAÑOLA SA was founded in 1960 in Barcelona for the manufacture and transformation of vehicles, mainly on the basis of the Seat 600. The most famous vehicle was the Siata Minivan. Two versions were manufactured: the 2850 and the 3000 Special.In 1973 SIATA ESPAÑOLA SA was acquired by the company MOTOR IBÉRICA SA, manufacturer of trucks, vans and tractors EBRO. As a result of this purchase, the registered Siatas were marketed under the trade name of EBRO. Some Siatas were even sold under the Avia brand, also owned by MOTOR IBÉRICA SA. One of their more interesting vehicles is the Siata Patricia Austat, SteersWithThrottle, bunglebus and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMinorMk3 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 And another Siata, the Tarraco Magazine – blog of classic cars and motorcycles: SIATA Tarraco, the predecessor of the new SEAT (foto90classic.blogspot.com) Quote These days the choice of the name of the latest model to be manufactured by SEAT has been in the news. The name chosen for the new SUV, by popular vote has been that of Tarraco, with a 35% of the votes received. It was the first time that the name of a model was chosen. thus, among the five finalist names. But it is the case that Tarraco is not the first time it has been used for a model of vehicle, because 57 years ago, SIATA, coincidentally a factory in Tarragona linked commercially with SEAT, it also launched a four-seater coupe tourism, the SIATA Tarraco. ... Given that little by little the automotive market expanded the offer and variety of Vehicles at competitive prices such as the Simca 1000, Seat 850 or Renault 8. In 1967, those responsible for the factory considered stopping manufacturing the Coupe Tarraco, since its continuity did not make sense. At the end of his trajectory, SIATA had manufactured a total of 598 cars of this model, 475 units were of the version with a 750 cc engine and 123 units, which they mounted the 850 cc engine. martc and Austat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I ever have the money a sport+ v8 coupe in red is a must buy, dream car for me. Same here. A fantastic car that deserves greater sales success.

Missy Charm Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Lada Tarzan: For some reason, Lada decided to put a Samara body on a Niva chassis to create a sort of car bodied, road going monster truck. The off road abilities would have been prodigious, but the on-road manners lacking, one assumes.

Didn't know either they did a 4wd until I drove behind it, seen the rear half shafts doing their thing. Presume it was a panda 4x4 rival at the time.
