Seat Ronda 022A 1.2 (64 Hp)
Seat Ronda:
The SEAT Ronda is a small family car produced by the Spanish automaker SEAT from 1982 to 1986, and styled by Tom Tjaarda at Rayton Fissore in collaboration with the Technical Centre in Martorell. The Ronda was the first SEAT model named after a Spanish city. 177,869 Rondas were built in total.
The SEAT Ronda was a restyled SEAT Ritmo which in its turn derived from the Fiat Ritmo. The most visible external design differences between a Ritmo and a Ronda are rectangular headlights on the Ronda in place of the round ones featured on the Ritmo, different tail lights and panels, and changed door handles. Mechanically, there were also some minor differences, mostly due to the use of Spanish-built engines and other parts....(Read more on Wikipedia)
