Weasel1984 ◊ 2023-08-15 21:59	In COMECON, Bis was sold only in Poland, so with white plates, it is most likely West German car, badged "FIAT". When FSM went on its own in the 1980s (in case of sales and exports), it printed various promo brochures with various names of its cars, but to DDR 126/126p was finally not exported. Also worth to note, that since 1988, FIAT wanted to sell only the 3-door Bises, so already earlier FSM was looking for other importers of its non-hatch, ordinary 126 and this can also explain this borchure in German. -- Last edit: 2023-08-15 22:09:48
