Overview
=== First series (1972–1977) === Due to SEAT design policy, a four-door variant of the car (without a hatchback lid, in spite of the fastback roofline) was added to the lineup in 1973. While usually fitted with the same 903 cc engine as in the Fiat 127, SEAT also produced a unique variant of the 127 OHV engine. This had 1010 cc instead of 903 cc and produced 52 PS (38 kW) rather than the 43 or 45 PS (32 or 33 kW) of the smaller unit. Second series (1977–1982). The SEAT 127 underwent the same styling modifications as did the Fiat 127 (new grille, taillights, bumpers) for the Serie 2, of January 1980. At the same time, a full five-door hatchback bodywork also became available. Third series (1981–1986). In November 1981, the last evolution of the SEAT 127 was presented as "SEAT 127 Fura". The 127 Fura was nearly identical to the Italian Fiat 127 series 3 (third series). When their licence from Fiat expired, SEAT redesigned some parts of the car and renamed it the SEAT Fura. == References ==
