3rd series Fiat 127 (3rd series identify-able by the indicator lights next to the headlights) by Fissore in Italy 1982?

[fromwien]

Sorry, no...

[727]

I would think this is not an Italian modification, am I correct?

[fromwien]

You are correct!

[727]

This vehicle wasn't even made in Italy, am I correct?

[fromwien]

Yes you are

[alltag]

Fiat 147 from Argentina?

[fromwien]

A special version of the Fiat 147 is the car's base...

[Alfa_Japan]

Fiat 147 Sorpasso IAVA built by SEVEL Argentina S.A. in 1982?

[fromwien]

Sorry, no

[727]

This special edition of this car isn't Argentinian but Brazilian, am I correct?

[fromwien]

Yes

[727]

Does this car's name include the name 'Fiat 147' or is it branded differently?

[fromwien]

Difficult to answer correctly: '147' is part of its name for sure, sometimes 'Fiat' is used additionally to its brand...

[727]

I think this should be it, Fiat-Fittipaldi 147?

[fromwien]

Yes, Fittipaldi (Fiat) 147. That' the first part of the game. These are the other parts to solve: Base car? Name? Built by? Who made the technical modification? When? Where?

Locked for 727

Fiat delivered CKD-parts to 'Fittipald Empreendimentos' in Barueri, Sao Paulo, directed by Wilson Fittipaldi Jr., where the cars should have been built. Their target was to finish 50 cars per month. Only four were actually built.
The Fitti-brothers hired Jorge Lettry, the great ex-technician of Vemag and Puma, to sportively tune up the Fiat 147 Rallye anyway... They wanted to create 'The Brazilian Abarth'
