I see SEAT was 50 years old yesterday.
I thought they were founded in 1950?

ok well it's the aniversary of the first vehicle off the line. take a look on Vortex for more details
Its correct, just not had chance to put it up, been too busy at work this week,
Press release issued Thursday, 50th anniversery of their first car, the SEAT 1400,rolling off the production line, the company was founded as has been correctly stated in 1950.
the delay must have been for testing :)

I have created a indepth History on SEAT a while back for the site, so I'll get Zboyd to look into posting it up
(Once i've rechecked my bits to see they tie in with the SEAT official line!)
