The 127 was more famous as a national championship car and rarely seen in the World championship. Though it was an interesting shape, a small hatchback, about the size of a Ford Fiesta at a time when most of its market opposition were either too small for proper engines/handling or saloon shaped. In fact best example just given, in Europe the Fiat 127 existed long before the Ford Fiesta Mk1 was born.
On the South American market the car was sold as the 147. Apart from the names there was no major difference between the 127 & 147. Excuses if this is a little speculation, but it seems the 147 was a project number for a facelift. Because the project number of the Fiat Uno is 146. The 147 was built in South America, maybe on old 127 production lines, just as in Europe the 127 was replaced by the Uno.
Fiat never had anything big, like a rally program in mind with it. But it was a popular car to be rallied in South America. Drivers like Jorge Recalde and Gustavo Trelles started out with it. The South American market was somehow different to what you would design cars for outside this place. No offence to South America. But there were even Fiat 147 versions (including rally ones) powered with Alcohol, which you find hard to imagine anywhere else in the World.
