Description from the seller
Seat 1400 A (1955) - Spanish Elegance of the 50s
GENERAL STRUCTURE:
It is a national Seat 1400 A, first registered in Barcelona in 1955. It is a unit with a very clear historical provenance, having always belonged to the same area and counting only 3 owners in its 70-year history. It is in an original and very honest state of preservation.
Bodywork and Painting
The body is in an acceptable condition and, most importantly, free of dents or dings. The frame is solid, although it requires some cosmetic TLC to look its best. It only shows some superficial rust localized on the hood emblem, a minor detail and easy to treat.
MECHANICS:
The mechanical condition is excellent. It has recently undergone a full maintenance, including the replacement of the carburetor. It is currently operating perfectly: it starts easily when cold and delivers smooth driving on the road. The braking system functions properly, ensuring safe operation.
Interior:
The cabin remains in its original condition. The upholstery fabric of the seats and the headliner are in good condition, showing wear fully in line with its age. Although some seat seams require minor repairs, the interior is "healthy" and, after a thorough cleaning, would look splendid. For a 70-year-old car, its preservation is remarkable.
DOCUMENTATION:
The vehicle has all its documentation in order. As a car with national papers, the transfer process is straightforward and it is ready to be exported or registered in any country without any issues.
PICKUP:
Barcelona, Spain – The buyer is responsible for transportation, although crane loading can be arranged.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The Seat 1400 was the model that inaugurated production at Barcelona's Free Trade Zone in 1953. Based on the Fiat 1400, its 'pontoon' design was revolutionary in Spain at the time, becoming the symbol of the upper-middle class and the quintessential official car. Owning this 1955 unit is to possess a living fragment of Spanish industrial history.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
