electra225 ◊ 2023-03-08 12:44	Could not it be a 1959-60 1500 (without S) ?
s13a ◊ 2023-03-08 13:14	It could be indeed. I forgot an early 1500 existed without an 'S' for a few months.
electra225 ◊ 2023-03-08 14:02	Yes and it was mmore common than the 1500 S because it was built for about two years like the S for just one. I remember the 1500 S arrived in 1961. Don't be confused by the fact that 195961 500 and 1961-62 1500 S were technically more realted to the folowing 1600 S but the 1200 became the 1500 in 1963 having just an increse in cubic capacity but still with single carburettor. -- Last edit: 2023-03-08 14:04:58
s13a ◊ 2023-03-08 14:33	I thought 1500 S came out in mid 1960? Our examples on the site are all listed as 1960 models as well. Here is one for sale : Link to "www.lot-art.com"
dsl ◊ 2023-03-08 15:01	I tried to make sense of all the Fiat [118~] 1200/1500/1600 convertibles on the forum a few years ago, and used it to clean up our collection. Can't remember now where I got all the info from, but was as good as I could get it. I'll throw it into the mix again in case anyone can improve/correct it.
