SEAT 127 SAMBA / FIAT FISSORE 127 SCOUT of 1983.

5 SEATS. TOTALLY RESTORED, IT HAS BEEN PAINTED IN THE PRECIOUS GREEN CHIARO COMBINED WITH A CHOCOLATE AND BROWN TWEED UPHOLSTERY, ROOF MADE TO MEASURE IN SONNENLAND FABRIC OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, THE COOLEST AESTHETIC TO GO TO THE BEACH AND TO CROSS ITS COVES, A DELIGHT IN THE CONDUCTION, GIVEN BY ITS 4 CYLINDERS ENGINE AND ITS GEARBOX IN LOW POSITION, SPORTY TACT AND MECHANICAL RELIABILITY, THE MOST USABLE BEACH CAR THANKS TO ITS BENEFITS AND RAISING A SMILE WHEREVER IT GOES.

This curious derivative of the SEAT 127 was actually a convertible version assembled under license from the Fiat 127 Scout by Italian coachbuilder Rayton Fissore, also known as the Fiat 127 Moretti.

In Spain the company Emelba S.A. was in charge of assembling the Seat 127 SAMBA. Emelba was a Spanish coachbuilder located in the town of Arbucias, in Gerona, which was active between 1978 and 1986.

But if the Catalan coachbuilder is known for anything, it is for the 127 Samba. It was his first project, based on the SEAT utility car and equipped with a bespoke convertible body. The concept behind the Samba was similar to that of the Citroën Mehari, a beach-style car with no roof, no side windows, two small doors and a van-like rear section.

A production run of just 1,000 examples gave this model an exclusivity that other similar cars lacked.

Fissore 127 Scout, a convertible ‘fun car’ similar to the Citroën Méhari based on the Fiat 127, debuted at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Originally called Gypsy, it was developed by a small company called MAINA, but lacking capacity, Fissore took over the production and marketing of the car. A self-supporting pressed metal body was used from 1974.
