A small family car launched in 1959, styled by Giovanni Michelotti and built on a separate chassis when rivals had given that up. That made it easy to offer as a saloon, coupe, convertible, estate and van. It is remembered for a remarkably tight turning circle and a bonnet that tilts forward with the front wings.
