Autobianchi

In April 1969 the Autobianchi A111 was introduced as a replacement for the Primula. Since parent company Fiat's styling department was already overworked, decision was taken to use an existing design for the dismissed project 123. Therefore, the A111's lines unsurprisingly recalled contemporary Fiat designs, especially the 124 and 128. As the 1970s progressed, Fiat has introduced an increasing number of front-wheel drive cars under its own brand, and thus the Autobianchi's became redundant. The last A111 left the production line in 1972, making the total number produced 56,984.
