Fiat advertises the all-day use of this middle-class car with up-to-date technology. Lots of space at a reasonable price. Just the engine should be more powerful. On the other hand, Fiat stresses its reliability and its efficiency.
Oh yes, the disc brakes should be mentioned, a sensation at that time. Additionally, there is a small electromagnetic fan, also unique in this segment. The service interval of 10.000 km is positive, too.
1964 the body is granted the engine of the 1500 C with 55 kW (75 HP), improving the power. A year later, an alternating current generator, a closed cooling system, and the omission of lubricating nipples at the joints, are added.
