It's not so usual to see an earlier Fiat Uno anymore. Well, many might have had the front clip changed for the updated one with a lower profile...



But I saw this one in my neighborhood recently. The Mille had the engine destroked to 994cc (roughly 1000cc, for what Mille stands for), and in spite of being technically inferior to the Italian version (Brazilian ones kept the same suspension layout from the Fiat 127 and the Yugo), it was also exported to Italy where it was rebadged Innocenti Mille.

The Mille engine had also been briefly used in the Fiorino, but was not a popular option at all. The open-deck one is used to deliver bottled LPG and water, while the white box-van is used by a hot dog seller in my neeighborhood.
