MiniMort Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Strange there’s no 500, production didn’t end for another 2 years. Did it go off sale in the UK early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok that makes sense. I have an old AutoCar from 1974 and there’s the Spanish built ‘Fiat 850’ for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgRocker Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Fiat 130 saloon I'd love to drive a Fiat 124 around for shits and giggles. How long would it be before some utters "It's a Lada!" The Fiat 125 was no longer sold in the UK in 1972 but were being built in Poland with a less impressive engine, correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_FM Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 I was confused when reading the a-z cars 1945-70 & noticing the Fiat 124 was very lada like. The fso used a 125 body shell but engines & suspension from the older fiat 1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
