FIAT 127 £843
Choice of two doors or three now helps buyers extract maximum utility from Fiat's award-winning small car. With the lift-up third door comes a fold-away rear seat, making space for 725 lb. of freight, plus driver. This advanced design includes transverse engine with closed circuit cooling and electromagnetic fan, thermostatically controlled. Twin-circuit brakes have a load sensitive valve to prevent rear wheels locking.
FIAT 128 ESTATE £1,075
Load-carrying version of Fiat's popular family model with the transverse engine and front-wheel drive. Carrying the spare wheel under the bonnet leaves unobstructed cargo space at the rear. The floor is low for easy loading, all round vision is good and a rear roof light is provided. The engine has a belt-driven overhead camshaft and electric cooling fan, thermostatically controlled.
FIAT 128 COUPÉ £1,359
Original styling attracts attention wherever this small sports coupé goes. Transverse engine, front-wheel drive and all-independent suspension are developed from those of the 128 saloon, but suspension has important improvements for better road holding. Choice of two engine sizes and two levels of trim and equipment. Spare wheel under the bonnet leaves space for lots of luggage.
FIAT 124 ESTATE £1,165
Alongside their front-wheel drive models, Fiat keep up a big production of the conventional 124 which has been developed into high performance sports saloons, as well as this practical roomy station wagon. The 124 also forms the basis for cars built under licence in Poland, Russia and other countries. It is light, manoeuvrable, has a willing engine and good brakes.
FIAT 132 £1,650 approx.
Challenging the established 2-litre models, Fiat replaces the 125 with a high performance 1800 that is quieter, roomier, faster, safer. A modern twin-overhead-cam engine gives 105 m.p.h. performance, while a strong structure with reinforced doors, twin-circuit disc servo brakes and collapsible steering column set the pace on safety. The propeller shaft is two-piece for smoothness. Four radius arms locate the rear axle.
FIAT 130 COUPÉ £5,257
It began with an idea by Sergio Pininfarina who wanted to do a modern coupé as elegant as the one his father once did on the Lancia Flaminia and its restrained elegance looks like making it into another classic. Interior trim is in velvet corduroy. Automatic transmission is the standard gear but a five speed manual box is an optional extra.
