Seat Malaga 023A 1.2 i (71 Hp)
Seat Malaga:
The SEAT Málaga is a four-door saloon produced by the Spanish automaker SEAT from 1985 to 1991 and named after the city of Málaga in Andalucía in southern Spain.
Although it can be considered a saloon variant of the SEAT Ibiza, both the Málaga and the first generation Ibiza were based upon those underpinnings of the SEAT Ronda.
The Málaga was a restyled version of the SEAT Ronda, a heavy facelifted version of the SEAT Ritmo, which in its turn was the rebadged version of the Fiat Ritmo. The Málaga most closely resembled the Fiat Regata, which was Fiat’s own saloon version of the hatchback Fiat Ritmo. However, the SEAT Málaga and the Fiat Regata were developed separately as the two manufacturers had already ended their partnership by the time of the launch of their two saloon models....(Read more on Wikipedia)
