I'm not sure if this had already been discussed, but FIAT is also an acronym, as is SIMCA and technically also the ALFA part in Alfa Romeo, even if rendered as such only at the very beginning (so I don't think it would be useful to change)
Btw, since it was decided to eliminate "Ambulance" or similar terms from vans, can you put it off from all "Fiat 238 Ambulanza" and "Fiat 238 E Ambulanza"? Thanks in advance

It depends more on the way the company uses it. For example the new MINI is also all uppercase, and the smart is all lowercase.
Simca and Fiat were not always written uppercase in commercial documents.
About Fiat 238 Ambulanza, don't they have a raised roof that differenciate them from the regular vans? Or were there also vans with such roof?
I didn't see any from a quick search, except this one which could be some custom job or a modified ambulance:

Yes, there were normal vans with raised roof and ambulances without raised roof, as they were built by various coachbuilders

I think the one you linked could be a custom camper
Anyway I agree with you about the use in official documents. I'm not sure if Seat always has used the all uppercase version?

OK, I'll update the ambulances then
That's then something to confirm or reject

antp can you please update all of the 1997 Ford Puma to 1998? The model was introduced late in the year in 1997. Production did not even being until September of 1997.
