Polski Fiat 127p passenger car

The Fiat 127 is a small displacement passenger car that was awarded the title of 1972 European Car of the Year. It is considered to the be the precursor of today’s compact cars and was manufactured in many countries between 1971-1995. In 1973-1978 in Poland it was known as the Polski Fiat 127p. The innovative form of the body was designed by Pio Manzù (Pio Manzoni’s nickname). Production of the Polski Fiat 127p was episodic – only around 6,200 cars were built. Interestingly, the assembly of the cars had little to do with manufacturing – often, the finished vehicles arrived from Italy and only the labels and some pieces of equipment were replaced in Poland.
