Description
Seat 1400 Spider prototype, 1957 At a time when some manufacturers were beginning to use fibreglass, such as Alpine in 1955 and Chevrolet with the Corvette in 1954, a Spanish company called Ceplastica, which later became Formica, designed a prototype Seat 1400 A. This was the first fibreglass composite car in Spain. It was the first fibreglass composite car in Spain! The same company went on to manufacture the following cars: Isseta / Biscuter / Gogomobil / Pegasin (by Pedro Serra). The 1955 Seat 1400 A retained its chassis and all its mechanical parts. The driver's seat was moved back, the gearshift (4-speed gearbox) was moved to the floor and the body was completely rebuilt. Lightened in this way, the car now weighed 900 kg and became a very agile two-seater sports coupé. 1400cc engine, rear-wheel drive, capable of 125 km/ h. 48, 761 km on the clock/ New upholstery, rebuilt engine. The vehicle was exhibited in a museum among other exceptional vehicles. It is a unique model, eligible for major rallies (Mille Miglia), and elegance competitions such as "Villa d'Este". The car is registered in Spain under the Historic number plate. I can personally take care of the conversion to French collector plates. Price on request
