El 600

Manuel Vázquez Montalbán assured that "the day the Spaniards got on the 600 they began to move away from their past and began a weekend excursion from which they have not yet returned". This book dedicated to the most endearing Spanish car recreates that "excursion", which is not over yet. Illustrated with more than 150 photographs from different archives, agencies, clubs, fans and from SEAT itself, it tells the story of this mythical vehicle, its impact on the industry and the economy (as the spearhead of the so-called "developmentalism") and its profound imprint both on Spanish society for more than fifteen years (from the end of the 1950s to the first half of the 1970s), as well as on our memories and common imagination, in which it is still very present.
