1983-1987. If we will take into consideration only the first year, then wagons were only with 1500 engines for export AFAIK. And then the "ccm" will be the model name instead of 125p. But to be honest, seems, at the body, it still had both badges (125p and 1500), and in brochures was sometimes described as FSO 1500 Estate or "FSO Estate" only.

Introduced UK as Polski-Fiat 125p 1.5 in April 75 as saloon and estate. Renamed FSO 125p 1.5 June 81, discontinued June 90. No data on external changes during that period.

Yes indeed - in UK it was renamed to FSO at first (two years earlier than in Poland and on other markets). Well this is for sure 1983 or later car by the black hubcaps and side repeaters (if we take into consideration the specification from Poland). In 1983 UK brochure it still had chromed hubcaps and more chromes, but on the other hand 1983 British brochure used again the pics from the 1981 one...
I'm not sure how it was in the 70's, but at least since 1981 it was in UK also to buy as 1300 (and since this year it was not described as 125p anymore, but as FSO 1300, 1500 and 1500 GLS - in case of saloons).

Additional UK info for reference: 1.3 introduced as saloon only in June 81 until June 90. 1.5 GLS saloon "vinyl roof, body side tape" introduced October 80 and stopped Jan 83, and I have a vague memory that it was upgraded in UK (not factory). UK 1.3 and 1.5 got 5speed gears after Apr 84 when 1.5 went from 75bhp to 80bhp, and both got electronic ignition from Aug 85 (to help cope with the additional power?).

I think so - like usually in case of such versions. Nice information, that 1300 was unknown in GB before 1981.
