Well, the 118 was a new one to me, so I just Googled it.

Seems it was built in India, based on the old Fiat 124, but using a Nissan engine.
Found the following that might be of interest.

Hopefully this helps. If your car does not look like this, post a pic. You need to have posted 5 times before you can post a pic, so just answer this 4 more times.
I'd guess your chassis plate may well say made in India?

Re: need some info

looks just like the 1960 fiat-1200-cabriolet
but can be few diferente models. I want to find out for sure the right model
 
Re: need some info

So its not the Indian one then. That makes it better.
Before the 60s, Fiats were often known by their model name, such 1300, 1500, etc. Then they changed to identifying them by their model number, and in the 80s went back to naming them. Trying to find a cross-reference list is proving difficult.

This site may be useful, if you can recognise your car.

I've picked the 1300/1500 range, to bring this.

Have a browse, see if you can find yours.
I have an old publication from the seventies that may well give more detail, but need to identify which model. A pic would be best.
 
Many thanks to all for your answers and help.I appreciate it a lot.thanks
