## Overview

Designed at Fiat Centro Stile, the Fiat 128 3P went on sale in Italy a year earlier; the body panels were shipped from Turin to SEAT's Barcelona assembly plant.[2] It was marketed as "Three Times SEAT" in order to underline its triple combination of sportiness, versatility, and looks. The car was aimed at wealthy, young drivers. However, the 128 never enjoyed great commercial success, since in this period of economic recession and transition in Spain most people opted for the smaller, less expensive SEAT 127. In Spain it was available with two engine options from the Fiat 124 engine family, the 1.2-litre and the more powerful and well-known 1430 engine. A total of 31,893 units were built by SEAT in four years of production.[1]

### Variants

Specials editions of the 128 3P were sold under the SEAT 128 3P Sport name. Only differs on visual cosmetics.
