Going purely from memory as I'm away from home at present, I think this is a FNM-bodied Fiat Campagnola from the late 1970s.

No, sorry. And as far as I know FNM is only a producer of engines.

You are right: I was thinking to another FNM (Fabbrica Negri Macchine), the ones based near Naples which turned some Fiat petrol engine into Diesel in the 70s (for example, Fiat 131 before official Fiat 131 Diesel and Diesel version of the Indian Fiat 1100).

I had brain fade, because as I said, I was relying on my memory, which is always a danger. 

Anyway, I think my memory is working again now, so hopefully this time |I might be closer b7y thinking this is a EMBO Mega, based on a Fiat Campagnola (shown as a prototype at the 1978 Turin Show, then put into small-scale production in 1980).

That's where I got the FNM name from (remember that i was only going on memory).  Sadly the only name I have for the Fiat Campagnola-based EMBO is Mega, as the original pre-production cars (as per your photo and attached wasn't given a name from what I can find).  So, if it's not the EMBO Mega, then I don't know what it is.

Of course, Embo is the right name for the maker. But this is not the Mega, which has a very different body. It's slightly older and is also not based on the Fiat Campagnola.

Proud to give his first point to a dear friend.  ;)

Just to share the knowledge with other members, the K80 is older than the Mega, has an original frame chassis and was offered (don't know if actually built) with 4 different engines: 903 cc from Fiat 127, 1.3 and 1.6 from 131 and 2.0 from 132, which is actually the same of the Campagnola. This is the only link with the Fiat's offroad, and that magazine feature is misleading.
