Screengrabs from several clips found on Youtube, but I had no luck tracking down the whole movie.

Quote [Image: seat-1400-sport-14.jpg]

Quote At the Barcelona Trade Fair in 1957, just one year later, SEAT surprised the public by presenting the evolution of the Seat 1400 Sport Serra at its stand, which, although it has more consolidated the shape of what will be the series model, still it has notable differences that mean we should treat it as a second 1957 prototype or a pre-series unit. Some of these differences are the flat and not L-shaped bumpers, the hook-shaped rear wheel arch, the shape of the hood, the hood vents or the shape of the front grill. This second prototype, with frame 101-114.XXX, received registration B-137.904.

Also since the car was (presumably) built in 1957, I don't know if it's based on 1400 A, 1400 B or even the earliest 1400..

Reg.: B-137904 (1957)

Indeed, it is Pedro Serra himself, probably the best Spanish bodybuilder who did his best works in the 1950s and 1960s, almost always on a Seat or Pegaso chassis, but he also modified Renault, Lancia, Morgan, Biscuter, etc. .

the production of the Seat 1400 B began in December 1956, and since it is a new prototype from 1957 and it was registered new in 1957, I would dare to say that it is based on a 1400 B...Thank you very much for these wonderful images of unpublished Spanish classics s13a ,what a pity that you have not found the full movie
