Today’s the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! so let’s celebrate in a fitting manner with some orange 127s.
Note that while the last one looks like it should be a hatch, it isn’t. You had to pay more on the earlier ones for that.
You still occasionally see 127s on the road in Italy.

These ones aren’t Fiats.

Aren’t we supposed to light them on fire?

Once you’ve stacked them up, yes.

Indeed.
And the last two are not 127s either. (Well,
maybe
in certain markets they kept the 127 moniker, but that was not the original name given to them by the manufacturer.)

I don’t know. I do know it was called Stella in Finland and Fura by Seat but now that you mentioned it I did a quick search that returned Italian, German and UK brochures referring to it as 127.

Stella for the Finnish-market Seat Fura is excellent. Beautiful name. Their best ever, probably. That tidbit has earned you a very Latin-sounding star.
So you are telling me the Seat Fura and Fura 2 were still called 127 in Italy, Germany and the UK? Who would have thought.
The very first Spanish units were “127 Fura”, but by the time the Fura Crono appeared (second from last, foglights) they were just “Fura”.
