Fiat - Fiat 130
The Fiat 130 was built from 1969 up to 1977, initially using the V6 2.8 litre engine, later enlarged to 3.2 litres in 1971. The increase in capacity was to make the Fiat 130 more compatible with the German executive saloon offerings, while at the same time the interiors were upgraded significantly. The Fiat 130 was the replacement for the previous 2300 model, which suddenly looked very old fashioned as soon as the clean modern lines of the Fiat 130 were first shown. Shortly afterwards a good looking 2 door Pininfarina Coupe was introduced in 1971, which stayed in production until 1976, a year or so after the standard 4 door 130 had finished production.
