I spotted this yesterday and have already commented in another thread that it had been converted to have a two-cylinder, Kubota diesel engine.

I had an inkling that they were originally electrically propelled. Not so according to Wikipedia, and I was amazed to discover that after a Villiers engine, models had "a much more powerful 4-stroke 500 cc or 600 cc Steyr-Puch engine"
Apparently there were loads of them which had to be scrapped when the stockpile of parts became redundant when the car was discontinued for safety reasons.
I wondered if anyone has experience of these or knows more about how the Fiat engines were acquired and possibly disposed of.
