The swan song of the Urbanina came with the third series, known as the “F,” at the end of the 1960s.

It retained an electric motor but introduced four seats, unfortunately at the expense of the originality of the pivoting cabin.

Although the rotating body was no longer present, the Urbanina F retained the same stamped sheet-metal chassis design—not so much because it suited the new, non-rotating bodywork, but rather to amortize the costs associated with tooling and structural development.

There is no available data on the number of “F” units produced, but it is believed to have been only a few. Some “F” chassis were later used by Zagato for the Milanina.

Due to the need for modifications and improvements, production started slowly. It is estimated that around 200 Urbaninas were built in the workshop at the Poggio Adorno estate across the first and second series.
