This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Pirin-Fiat''' was the trademark of several passenger automobiles produced in [[Lovech]], [[Bulgaria]], and the result of a collaboration between [[Fiat]] (an [[Italy|Italian]] automobile firm) and SPC Balkankar (a Bulgarian state production cooperative). Production lasted for five years (1967–1971).

==Beginnings==
[[File:Fiat 850 Special 1968.jpg|thumb|Fiat 850 sedan]]
[[File:Fiat_124-Sedan_Front-view.JPG|thumb|Fiat 124 sedan]]

On September 26, 1966, a meeting was held between the management of SPC (state production cooperative) Balkankar and representatives of the Italian automobile company [[Fiat]]. Subsequently, the [[Fiat]] representatives informed their management in [[Turin]] that SPC ''Balkankar'' wished to enter into a contract with [[Fiat]], with performance to be given in several stages as follows:

* Until the end of 1966, Fiat was to deliver 300-350 [[Fiat 850]] passenger cars in complete knockdown ([[Complete knock down|CKD]]) kits to be assembled by SPC ''Balkankar''.
* Until the end of 1967,  Fiat was to deliver 3000-5000 Fiat 850 passenger cars in complete knockdown kits to be assembled by SPC Balkankar.
*Fiat was to design a factory for the assembly and partial manufacture of automobiles, which was to begin operations in Bulgaria at a later date.
* Fiat was to set up a network of service stations.
* Fiat was to design and construct a warehouse for spare parts.

The proposed contract specified that SPC Balkankar was to pay Fiat through barter of Bulgarian goods exported by Bulgarian ETO's (export trade organizations). On November 17 and 18, 1966, the sales manager of SPC Balkancar and the Fiat representatives negotiated a finalized version of the contract, which resolved the earlier impasse caused by the steep demands of the Bulgarian side. On December 6, 1966, the Bulgarians received the first blueprints from Fiat in two variants – 1A and 2A.

The actual contract was signed in [[Turin]], [[Italy]], between SPC Balkankar and Fiat, providing that Balkankar would be allowed to assemble the passenger cars Fiat 850 sedan, Fiat 850 coupé, [[Fiat 124]] sedan and [[Fiat 124]] station wagon.

== Production ==
The first 18 Fiat 850 cars arrived at the Factory for Passenger Cars Balkan in [[Lovech]] on May 10, 1967. After the Bulgarian side was trained in the assembly of the ''Fiats'', it was decided to choose a Bulgarian-sounding trademark for the cars. The unofficial trademark was ''Pirin'', but it was never featured on the cars themselves. The first Fiat 850 passenger car was assembled at the ''Balkan'' factory on June 27, 1967.

On March 12, 1968, the first Fiat 850 cars based on variant 2A were received at the factory as complete knockdown kits. This was followed by the arrival of Fiat's permanent technical adviser on April 2. The assembly of Fiat 850 based on variant 2A began on April 4, 1968.

Between April and May 1968, Bulgarian engineer Dimitar Damyanov was sent to Turin to sign a contract with Fiat regarding the delivery of welding and assembly machinery.

On April 28, 1968, the Italian engineer Brasio arrived at the ''Balkan'' factory in Lovech as a technical adviser, and on December 13 of the same year the Italian specialists Mueller and Grimaldi arrive to install the painting machinery.

The five-year contract between ''Balkankar'' and Fiat lapsed in 1971 and was not renewed. The last Fiat 850 left the Lovech factory in September 1971.

==Production numbers==
* [[Fiat 850]] sedan (1967–1971): 360
* Fiat 850 coupe (1967–1970): 89
* [[Fiat 124]] sedan (1967–1971): 274
* Fiat 124 station wagon (1967–1970): 35

Total production: 758
