Seat 133
The Seat 133 was a four-seat, two-door compact car with a rear engine and drive the Spanish manufacturer Seat.
In early 1974, the 133 was released as a successor of the Seat 850, who also created underbody and engine. The body met in the style of the Fiat 126 Bambino, but was slightly larger. Some sources speak of the first natural development of the Spanish manufacturer. Seat had mainly produced up to the separation of the Fiat Group in the early 1980s Fiat vehicles under license. Therefore, it was for the manufacturer then very important to develop an independent model. The Fiat 126 is a further development of the Fiat Nuova 500 with air-cooled two-cylinder engine, while the 133 seat had a water-cooled four-cylinder.
The longitudinally mounted at the rear four-cylinder engine with 843 cc displacement was offered in three versions, as " normal " (DG) with an output of 34 hp (25 kW ) or as a "super " (DB ) with 37 hp ( 27 kW ) and raised compression. These models had the front and rear drum brakes, which was sufficient for the maximum speed of 120 km / h or 125 km / h.
Another version with dual carburetors and front disc brake yet been offered for the Spanish market. This had Especial called model 43 hp ( 32 kW) at 6,400 rpm. Also for the Spanish market, there were two versions, the normal Especial with normal body and the Lujo, or Especial Llujo with enlarged front and rear bumpers, or plastic panels on the front and on the rear panel.
In Germany the model made in Spain was offered as a Fiat 133 exclusively in the 25- kW version. Since Seat was associated at that time with the Fiat group and did not own their own distribution network, you could also order other SEAT models at a Fiat dealer.
Mid- 1980, the Seat 133 in favor of the Seat Panda has been set, which was further developed for Seat Marbella later. In Argentina, it was produced as a Fiat 133 Java until 1981 under license.
