antp ◊ 2005-06-13 00:05	Ça pourrait être une Fiat 124 ou une Lada 2102, mais l'avant ne ressemble pas. L'action se passe en Afrique (si ça peut aider à identifier l'auto).
mc leod ◊ 2005-06-21 21:34	presque ! fiat 125 !
antp ◊ 2005-06-21 22:21	Tiens oui, je ne savais pas qu'elle existait en break, et en effet la forme des phares correspond.
DAF555 ◊ 2005-10-02 22:53	The 125 didn´t come as a wagon. This is more likely to be a SEAT 124, they came as wagons with this front.
antp ◊ 2005-10-02 23:10	It seems that it exists, as Fiat 125 Familiar http://www.cocheantiguo.com/FIAT125_FAMILIAR.JPG
DAF555 ◊ 2005-10-02 23:17	You´re right. The Fiat plant in Argentina made them, they even made them as pick-ups. But they don´t look like this one.
mgisbert ◊ 2005-10-18 23:45	Seat made in 1970's the model 124/1430cc avec les deux fares carrés .Ce moteur est exclusivement fabriqué in Barcelona (usine de la zona Franca) Puissance entre 70-75hp. et aussi avec Wagon.
sixcyl ◊ 2005-11-03 20:42	I'm not sure, but if I remember the real name was SEAT 1430 without 124. Remember of holidays we had in the 70's in basque land, there were very common as sedan at this time
DAF555 ◊ 2005-11-03 22:32	I´ve been browsing some spanish sites over SEAT and I didn´t really get much wiser, the body exists as both 124 and 1430. There are also an 124 with 1430 engine but if it came with this particular front I don´t know. But if I understand mgisbert right, it did. -- Last edit: 2005-11-03 22:34:15
murphy h. ◊ 2006-03-15 14:47	In Spain it was the SEAT 1430, as an export model it was called 124, or even Fiat 124, in absence of a Seat dealership. It was something between a Fiat 124 and a 124 Special/Special "T". I sort know for sure ;-), as I owned the only SEAT 1430 with 1430 badge in the Netherlands! This was because it was the actual car brought over from Spain, standing on display at the Amsterdam RAI motorshow when the model was launched outside of Spain, in 1974/1975. My grandfather bought it on the spot, when he stopped driving he let me have it. All subsequent imports had the 124 Special badge (I dismantled one for spares). It was a sort of mixed batch: The square headlamps are Fiat 125, the rear lamp clusters Fiat Polski 125, the interior Fiat 124 Special "T" check http://www.historiaseat.com/1430/k1430.htm -- Last edit: 2006-03-15 17:11:49
Aurelius ◊ 2006-08-31 00:53	I love the number plate of the car. It beguins by SH (Spanish province of Sahara). Real plate numbers like that are very very rare.

I think that's just a coincidence. It looks like an attempt at a Nigerian plate: http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/world/AF_NGRA.html
lastinpurple ◊ 2006-09-22 20:01	It can' be a 124, in spain, just 2 generations of 124s were build, and they were like this: http://www.foro.pieldetoro.net/web/pruebas/ver.php?ID=943 (Circle frontlights) http://www.foro.pieldetoro.net/web/pruebas/ver.php?ID=61 (Square frontlights) That's a Seat 1430, there weren't 124 with 4 frontlights: http://www.foro.pieldetoro.net/web/pruebas/ver.php?ID=51
antp ◊ 2006-09-22 21:28	Not sure of where they made that scene... as said above, "In Spain it was the SEAT 1430, as an export model it was called 124"
lastinpurple ◊ 2006-09-22 23:49	Sorry, antp, the Seat 124 was build in Spain, in Martorell, Cataluña, like the Seat 1430. The Seat (Sociedad Española de Automóviles y Turismos) built the Fiat Models until 1986, and the 124 until 1980. The production of the 124 circle frontlights began in 1968 and ended in 1975, and they built the square frontlights or Pamplona until 1980. The 1430 appared in 1969 and it was a different model of the 124. The 124 is a Small Sedan, like Renault 12 or Peugeot 404, but the 1430 is a Medium Sedan, like Citroën DS or Peugeot 504 But the both were built in Spain, and that Station Wagon isn't a Seat 124, it's a Seat 1430

antp ◊ 2006-09-23 11:53	I saw that, but it does not help about where this scene was made
lastinpurple ◊ 2006-09-23 13:11	What does it care the location of the scene? Isn't this Internet Movie Cars Database?
antp ◊ 2006-09-23 14:24	Location may influence on the name... as said above for some export markets it was called 124 instead of 1430
lastinpurple ◊ 2006-09-23 21:32	The Seat 1430 Familiar (Name of this car) it's a very rare car and there were very few cars made. And they only were build in Spain! And this pic shows than it's a 1430 Familiar built in Spain: http://www.milian.net/mm/vehiculos/seat/00Seat1430FamiliarBlau.jpg

carobserver ◊ 2006-11-19 02:31	it really is a Seat 1430 Familiar, could be a 1600 model of 1973-74, with black plastic grille and the side moulding Fiat made a 125 wagon in Argentina, and also in Poland by FSO ( was called FSO 125p wagon)
franek ◊ 2008-07-20 13:00	If it's really a 1430 Especial 1600 Familiar, this version is absolutely hard to be found in Spain, now!
OrazioSatta ◊ 2009-06-26 20:36	It´s a 1.970 (First series) Seat 1.430 "Familiar".

jaraluma ◊ 2023-05-17 13:35	Hola, este es el famoso 1430 de la película "Sahara". En realidad la matrícula es la T-77177. https://youtu.be/i5pmIo_AeVs Un saludo.
jaraluma ◊ 2023-05-17 13:39	Valga el reflote del tema para aclarar el asunto. Aquí también aparece el coche: https://youtu.be/lbtL1oWmweQ Y aquí el video original de la compra con la historia del coche: https://youtu.be/nwzWILDKlVo Un saludo. -- Last edit: 2023-05-17 13:42:03
