In 1961 the 1200 Saloon was replaced by the new, larger, 1300/1500.
The 1200 and 1600 Coupés and Cabriolets continued to be built without major alterations until September 1963, when they were equipped with the larger 1.5 litre pushrod engine.
Power was up to 72 CV (53 kW) (80 SAE) and the 1500 (tipo 118H) now also benefitted from front disc brakes.
The grille, previously two segments, was now a wider, single piece.
The Fiat-engined 1500 (tipo 118H) was now also available with Pininfarina's limited production coupé bodywork.
The O.S.C.A. engined 1600 S, with a twin cam 1568 cc engine developing 90 CV (66 kW) continued to be available albeit with the same new front end treatment as that of the 1500 Cabriolet.
This was called the Fiat 1600 S Coupé/Cabriolet (tipo 118SB) and can easily be recognized by its additional lamps at the outer corners of the grille.
New, lower engine mounts allowed the bonnets to be flatter.

In early 1965, the four-speed transmission was replaced with a five-speed unit, while the brakes received servo assistance.
The 1500 became the tipo 118K, along with a slight engine upgrade for 75 CV (55 kW) (83 SAE).
The range was replaced by the new 124 coupés and spiders in 1966, although the 1500 Coupé continued to be sold into 1967.
