Fiat 241

The Fiat 241 is a van produced by Fiat between 1965 and 1974, with a payload of 1,400 kg, offered as a truck, a van and a bare chassis, and in drop-side, platform and pickup versions. It replaced the 1100T pickup, which had ceased production in 1964, and it was offered in parallel with the Fiat 238, with which it shares its cabin design. Unlike the front-wheel-drive 238, whose engine sits under the passenger bench, the 241 has rear-wheel drive and its engine located centrally in the cab, so it has only two seats. It had two engine options: a 1438 cc overhead-valve petrol engine derived from that of the passenger car Fiat 124 Special, producing 51 PS with a four-speed gearbox, and a 1895 cc diesel, the same as in the Campagnola, producing 47 PS. Front suspension is independent with coil springs, with semi-elliptic springs at the rear. The Fiat 242 later replaced it.
