First introduced in 1971, the Fiat 127 was the successor of the Fiat 850. The initially just as a two-door sedan available, very small 127 was in built Italy and Spain (as Seat) until 1983. In Poland, a 127 was produced as Polski Fiat. In 1972, the model was named "European Car of the Year".

The first series Fiat 127 had the front wheel drive transverse engine, previously used in the Fiat 850 series. This engine with a 903 cc capacity produced 47 hp (34.5 kW) at 6200 rpm.

In 1977, the second series of the Fiat 127 was presented. Both exterior and interior were restyled. As an option, the car was now available with a 1,049 cc engine.

In 1983, the last, third series was introduced. The Fiat 127 was a hit in Scandinavia and the Baltic states, which explains why so much are still driving over there. Production in Italy ended in 1983, when the Fiat 127 was succeeded by the Uno.

This 1980 Fiat 127 has a very special history. Although some 35 years old, the car has only 84 km (53 miles) on the odometer. The Fiat was found in the so-called "forgotten car showroom" in Kolding, Denmark. In the 60s stubborn local Fiat dealer, Jens Sørensen, refused to hire salesmen and was not able to sell all the cars he had in stock on his own. This is how the large stockpile of all kinds of new and used Fiat and Autobianchi models originated. When in 1981, Fiat forced its dealer to choose between selling trucks or cars, Sørensen chose the former. The cars, more than 200, he just left standing. He died in 2006, and since then his son Kjeld is selling the cars.

This unused Fiat 127 comes with a original instruction book, (empty!) Danish service booklets and a Dutch registration. Also, a number of Danish newspaper articles about the particular origin of the car is present.
