The main Spanish car manufacturer started its business in 1953 with the construction of the 1400 under Fiat license, followed by that of the 600, which contributed significantly to the motorization of the Iberian country. The Fiat derivatives continued to constitute the main nucleus of Seat production until the early 1980s, when the Spanish manufacturer began to turn to the VW group which then integrated it. The Malaga, produced from 1985 to 1986 with 1200 and 1600cc engines, was practically an Ibiza with a trunk and did not hide its relationship with the first series Ritmo, such as the contemporary Ronda. Despite having stylistic points in common, contrary to what one might think, the Malaga is not the Spanish version of the Fiat Regata.
