Being from Yugoslavia, we never called those a FIAT. We always called them a “Peglica”, meaning “little iron” (iron as in laundry iron)

They were always either ‘May Fiat’ (Little Fiat) or ‘Maluch’ (LIttle one) here. The Maluch name was officially adopted at the end of the production run.

Cute :)

If I had the money, time and space, I would totaly import one of the original FIAT/Zastava 750's from Serbia and drive it on the weekends. If only I could find one of these super old ones with suicide doors. I am actually going to be in the city where this one is registered in August, I might even see it :)

I go to Croatia quite often, and you still occassionally see them about! Although I think Croatians were more fond of Renault’s 4.

Also, those Zastavas are almost luxurious compared to my Maluch. A 4 cylinder engine AND water cooling? Now that’s just decadent! :D

I loved the little lever under to back seat - that was how the heating system worked :D

I’m a Croatian and I LOVE a Renault 4. Something about it is so perfect... To me it’s a European version of a beach/surf car (If you ignore the most surfer-ey car, the Citroen Mehari...).

The Renault 4 was popular at the shore where people had long wineyards, which the Renault 4 could squeeze into, being narrow and long, and it had a high ground clearance so the farmers and winemakers were quite fond of them.

Also, with a decent load capacity and a nice door at the back to load up through the 4 is probably vastly more practical.
