The Giugiaro-designed Panda (model number 141 for the 4x2 or number
153 for the 4x4 version) was introduced in 1980 and production is
still continuing. It was Fiat's way to provide cheap transportation
for the masses.
In 1986 the Spanish SEAT-version of the Panda was introduced: the
Marbella. Production of the Marbella has finally stopped in 1998
after having seen Seat being owned by Fiat, being independent and now
being owned by Volkswagen.
But the Panda is still going strong!
