    The boxy model came initially as a two door sedan, but later version included a 4 door sedan and a three door break (“Panorama”) version. It had an 1116 cc SOHC engine, which was a nice revver, producing 55 BHP at 6000 Rpm.

    In 1971 Fiat introduced an all new coupe version, which was to continue the success of the earlier 850 Coupe. The 2-door model showed clear lines, with an impressive upward at the rear waistline. In order to improve the performances a 1290 cc engine was introduced in the SL version (the 1116 cc engine was also available as the S version) and with now 75 BHP under the bonnet and with a kerb weight of only 820 kg, 100 mph could be achieved. The model was also exported to the USA.

    In 1975 the body was significantly altered, with the fastback retained, but now sporting a real opening rear hatch. The waistline became horizontal now. This model was called 128 3P (Three porte) and was only available with the 1300 cc engine. It stayed in production until 1979.

    Of both versions almost 331000 examples were made over an 8 year period. The base 128 continued to be produced until 1982 until 2.776.000 models were finished. The platform was subsequently used for the Ritmo/Strada model as well. It was also built in Jugoslavia under license and formed the basis for the Zastava, but that is another story. Another anorak fact is that the SEAT management refused to build the 128 3P and instead produced the 1200 and 1430 Sport.
    Shown here is a 1973 SL version, which attended the Concorso Italiano during the 2006 Concours d’Elegance at Palace Het Loo.
    Hi,

    In the '70s they were very cool.

    Seat made the 3P and appeared to badge it as a 3P as well but it looks like they used the 1200 and 1430 engines,

    La web del SEAT 128 3p

    IMCDb.org: Seat 128 3p in movies and TV series

    Anyone have any more info?

    It was really very helpful for me.The beefy engine delivers about 80 HP, not bad for a 1300. The car is also very light, and it drives like a race car that's why I gave it a 7 for comfort, the suspension is quite stiff.Not many of you know the car, but it's a beautiful little coupe.
