Weasel1984 ◊ 2010-10-23 21:07	Thanks. This model of Seat I would not expect in France.

Weasel1984 ◊ 2010-10-23 21:49	Well, in fact Seat 850 (2-door) was sold here, in Poland, but it was "a bit" different situation. I knew about 4-door 850 and 600 (Seats) marketed on some western markets, but about 2-door 850's no. -- Last edit: 2010-10-23 22:00:13
dsl ◊ 2010-10-23 23:17	I think the UK situation was that Fiat dealers found people still wanted 850s despite having the 127, so asked Fiat for some. There were no UK Seat dealers until the 1985 Ibiza launch.
Ingo ◊ 2010-10-23 23:26	Were there ANY Seat-only dealers outside of Spain at the decades, Seat runs under Fiat-license? I think, the (very few) Seat's, sold outside Spain, were always distributed by Fiat-dealers.
