A plain, well-engineered family saloon that Fiat launched in 1966 and that was voted European Car of the Year for 1967. Its bigger claim to fame came from the Soviet Union, where it was built under licence as the Lada, toughened for rough roads and produced for decades after Fiat had moved on. It also gave its name and running gear to the 124 Sport coupe and Spider.
