I had a 1966 Fiat 1500. It was kind of a MGB clone. It had a manual hand
throttle, as well. It was real handy on cold days, until the motor warmed up.
Nice car, but it had two problems: You couldn't find parts for it, (in 1971),
and the body tried its best to turn to an iron oxide dust.

IIRC the Fiat 600 had as standard a manual throttle control,
sort of predecessor to the CC, apart from the accelerator.
But then, I may be wrong. I was only small kid at the time they
embellished our roads here in Europe.
