The vehicle number 8 million from the Landaben plant is a Polo heading to France

The Landaben assembly plant has celebrated the rollout from its production line of car number 8 million. A very important milestone for the Navarre plant, which has been working since 1965 to deliver cars prepared to meet the demands of all the customers who have wanted to drive any of them. Car number 8 million is a Volkswagen Polo in Seda Blue that will travel on to France.

This car is one of the last units to be built of the current generation of the Polo, before production of the new generation of this iconic car from the German brand begins. It is not the last car of this generation still in progress, but this figure was reached on the final day the model is being built, so it could be, almost, the last of them all. It is a 1.2 TSI Polo with 90 CV, Comfortline trim, petrol and with a manual gearbox.

Throughout its existence, the Landaben factory has gone through three stages, and adding them all together has led to this iconic figure. The factory opened its doors as Authi and during that first stage it built 131,744 cars, including models from the brands Morris, MG, Mini, Austin and Victoria. After these early years it began working for SEAT.

Between 1975 and 1983 it built 2,834,225 cars, including the iconic SEAT 124, the Panda and models for Lancia. Finally, it began building cars of Volkswagen, which make up the bulk of its current production. In total it has produced 7,584,031 units, thanks to the continuous renewal of the Navarre plant. The Volkswagen Polo has been the model that has benefited from the professionalism of the plant, and soon that new generation, which will replace the one on the market since 2009, will begin rolling off its production line.
