It DID have one but only in the "pre-facelift" (had to re-investigate this later) 1976-1979 [F10] with the 1.0-litre FE gasoline engine. Looks like the local sources and Indonesian Wikipedia (as all linked above) were poorly executed, because both F10 series and F50 series were actually IN the same generation per English Wikipedia. -- Last edit: 2025-07-28 09:19:00
