Hmmm this one got me for a sec. It's a Fiat 132, early 80s I believe. All these Fiats look sorta alike, and at first I thought it's a 131, but it's not (the C pillar vents are different). The 132 was replaced by the larger Fiar Argenta in early 80s.
 
The red car on the right is an old Fiat 600 also known as the Topolino (which means Mickey Mouse), and the white on the right is an FSM Syrena 105 (Poland's Trabant at the time).
 
The two rears you see on ther left are also of the Syrena.
 
The Syrena resembled the Morris Minor, and was produced up until mid 80s with almost no changes (apart from dropping the suicide doors in the 70s, and moving the shifter to the fllor from the column). The styling and the metal dashboard remained unchanged.
 
I still have the owner's manual for that car, and I have parts of it in my car space:

It's a Fiat 132 but an early one, ca. 1974. It's a handsome little sedan IMO, not something I could say about that Syrena. Who made those?

Syrena was made by FSM, a Polish state run factory.
 
It stood for Fabryka Samochodow Malolitrazowych.
 
It means Factory of Small Displacement Cars.

Bet you can't say that fast three times. Was the Syrena a Polish design or based on something from elsewhere?
