	'''~~Use~~ the ~~following MODEL TEMPLATE as~~ the ~~foundation for~~ the ~~Wikicars~~' ~~Model page:~~'''		The '''SEAT 1500''' was a Spanish-built 6-seater [[Sedan (car)\|saloon]] and [[Station wagon\|estate]] cars, built by [[SEAT]] and based on the Italian [[Fiat 1800]]. The 1500 was the successor to the SEAT 1400 C: it was manufactured between 1963 and 1970, with the five door estate (''"Familiar"'') version arriving in 1965. Apart from the larger engine, differences between the 1500 and the C version of its predecessor were limited to such minor details as a speedometer that now read up to 140 km/h (87 mph).

There was also a '1500 pick-up' offered, and the coach builder ONECA developed a long wheel base 'pullman' version. A total of 134,766 cars were produced.
