On Monday, we presented this week’s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle whence it came. Many of you provided some pretty entertaining guesses for what car this week’s shifter belongs to, but only Ryan May correctly identified it as a Fiat 127. This makes Ryan May the winner of the Save the Manuals prize pack!
The 127 Sport photos you see here are from Fiat’s press materials, and was the third and final generation before being replaced by the Fiat Uno. This hatchback was one of Fiat’s first modern superminis, and included a state-of-the-art transverse-engine/front-wheel-drive layout, with the transmission mounted on the end of the engine. The 127 was an instant success and quickly became one of the best-selling cars in Europe.
