Essentially a Seat badged version of the Fiat Panda. The Fiat version was quite a common sight on UK roads back in the 1980’s. I think I can vaguely remember seeing one or two Seat Marbella’s in the UK (replaced Seat’s version of the Panda).

I don’t think I’d have wanted to be travelling in one if it was involved in an accident! - none of the active / passive safety systems we take for granted in modern cars.

I have owned 3 of those Dinky Toys.

1. Fiat Panda 34 from 1985 - 843cc 34hp
2. Seat Marbella from 1986 - 903cc 41hp
3. Fiat Panda Trekking 4x4 from 2002 - 1108cc 54hp

They are very fun cars to drive, but are really made for city use only.
