[Leica] Re: SEAT car

[lrzeitlin at optonline.net (Lawrence Zeitlin)]

The SEAT was a Spanish built Fiat with a tiny (980 cc.) 4 cyl. Porsche 
engine. The car was a bright red little econobox that would get 40 
miles to the US gallon. Top speed was about 85 mph, more than adequate 
for the Welsh roads. We bought the car with about 108,000 miles on it 
and sold it, after two years and another 20,000 miles, to our next door 
neighbor's son for 350?. He didn't care too much about the mechanical 
condition but felt that the bright red finish, the sun roof, and the 
working Grundig cassette radio would attract the babes.

I understand that SEAT was later acquired by Volkswagen. Hitler and 
Franco must be shaking hands in Hell.
