Well done! I had a '74 127 903 pushrod engined FIAT in the mid '80s, economical simple car, great engine, handled well, stopped well, comfortable, and would drive on the motorway almost flat out all day(well almost).Swapped it p/x for a motorcycle, Triumph 500 twin ).
Nice starting, my compliments from Italy !!! In 2018:i was in Finland , ad over there i have seen some 127 still running, and also a more rare Fiat 850 model !
Congratulations, you managed a very tricky rescue! It is probably too much to consider a restoration but, perhaps the engine will made happy another 127 owner.
Interestingly, a popular upgrade for the Reliant 3 wheelers is a Fiat FIRE engine which sits in extremely well and gives the Reliant a lot more power, use them in racing Reliants.
this doesn't have a Fire engine. It is the latest iteration of the Fiat 100 engine that first was used in Fiat 600 (633 cc then, this is upgraded up to 903cc and there was also the 1050cc)

Here in Brazil, this car is called "the 147". It was manufactured with 1050 and 1300 CC petrol and alcohol engines. With 4-speed and 5-speed gearboxes. And hatchback, sedan, pickup, station wagon, van bodies. This car is in Poland?
I agree, its just that the Zastava or Yugo range was the butt of all jokes where I come from. I owned both a Fiat 127 and a Yugo 45. The Fiat was a great little car but the Yugo was quickly christened a NoGo after it broke down less than a mile from the showroom! They took it back after a month much to my relief and I bought another Fiat!
