Overview
Overview
The car produced was called the Eight and was a twin cam inline eight-cylinder engine with a 3L capacity and 125 bhp driving the rear wheels. The car could be had with a selection of body styles. There were plans for a straight 10 3.9 litre version but this never materialised. In 1931 the "Sport" variation of the Nacional Pescara tuned for racing won the European Hill Climb Championship. The company ceased to exist just before the 1936 Spanish revolution, with the last car being built in 1932.
