The business model of some Fiat licensees and even fully-owned overseas branches is quite interesting. There were times when the Argentinian operation was not fully owned by Fiat, and the 147 which is a regional derivative of the 127 had 124-based engines in Brazil and 128-based ones in Argentina, and at least in Uruguay some versions locally asembled from CKD kits resorted to the 903cc engine. Well, considering other Fiat models assembled from CKD kits had some parts supplied by Zastava, who knows if a Serbian-made engine had ever fitted an Uruguayan 147...
