Premier Padmini in INDIA from FIAT

Premier Padmini was an automobile manufactured in India from 1968 to 2000. Premier Automobiles Limited, erstwhile flagship company of India's Walchand Hirachand Group, assembled Fiat's Fiat 1100 cars from the 1950s until 1997. The car ruled Indian roads for three decades (1955-1985).

The Fiat 1100D based on the Fiat 1200 GranLuce Berlina debuted in India in 1964 with a 1,089 cc 4-cylinder engine, instead of the GranLuce's 1,221 cc engine.
It put out 40 bhp (30 kW) @ 4800 rpm with a maximum torque of 7.20 kgf·m (70.6 N·m) @ 3000 rpm. The original transmission was a four-speed manual gearbox that drove the rear wheels through a live axle. Weighing 895 kg (1,970 lb) the car could attain 105 km/h (65 mph).

Its in the market since 1950's and at the time of its going to grave, the Padmini was a completely made in India product. But again, there's very little Indianess about the car, except maybe the name Padmini. The design (including the platform, engine and drive train) came from Fiat of Italy. So heavy was the Fiat influence, that half of India knew the car as Fiat rather than Premier Padmini. The same design existed in India through the years with little changes in the nuts and screws.
