nothing to do with Fiat (you know, this is AutoPuzzles, where cars are not what they seem to be )

That's why I chose the Zastava version.

Was it made in Europe?

[pnegyesi]

well, Zastava built the 126 under licence, but this car has got nothing to do with Fiat. It was not made in Europe

Unbelivable!

I assume it's a pure copy and not licensed?
Some of these Chinese copies are so close their parts can even be used on the originals..
The difference is there is no integrity in the engineering behind them.. Any fool can make something look like something else but the way it works and behaves is something completely different.  They have NO crash protection at all..

[pnegyesi]

yes, it is a copy

I've read that this was the only one produced
