I'd say we shall introduce brands 'Fiat-OSI' and 'Ford-OSI' (with or without dash) for easier searching. Now almost every OSI sample is drowing in flood of bread & butter 'Ford' and 'Fiat' vehicles. |

I agree with 130rapid, as the Ford OSI is a OSI 20m TS Coupé which was OSIs most successful production model and the Fiat OSI is a OSI 1200 Coupé or Spider. Both cars are sold under the OSI brand and not as Ford or Fiat. But in this case the white OSI Spider here in the movie is actually a Neckar St Trop Spider, which is the same as a OSI 1200 Spider. All OSI 1200 sold outside of Italy are badged with a Neckar label. |

the car is currently for sale in France. It is advertised as a 1965 model |

Actually, the 20m TS advertisments are disturbing: 'OSI', 'Ford-OSI', 'OSI-Ford. You can find all these names. |

yes that's true as nobody seems to really know how the cars are called. The Ford is an OSI 20m TS Coupé. Although there are no Ford badges on the car, it was sold by Ford dealers and Ford took the full works guarantee for the cars. But it was never sold as a Ford. The Fiat is an OSI 1200 Spider or Coupé. The cars were sold by Fiat dealers in Italy. The OSI 1200 was also sold in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. But here they are called Neckar St Trop because NECKAR was the sales branch for Fiat outside of Italy. In Germany OSI had it's own ID-number as a car manufacturer. So if you have a registered OSI in Germany your car is listed as OSI in your papers |
