In the 1940s and 1950s, the Fiat 1100 was one of the cars that best represented Italy’s postwar motorization. From its successful base, Fiat developed not only sedans and family versions, but also sturdy and versatile commercial vehicles such as the Fiat 1100 ELR, where ELR stands for Economica, Lunga, Rinforzata (Economic, Long, Reinforced), designed… Read More Country worker: 1952 Fiat 1100 ELR
We’re always surprised to see a Fiat like this in the U.S., for a few clear reasons—starting with the fact that, considering the long distances to cover in the United States, a 1100 cc engine from the 1960s was simply too small to last more than a few years. Then there’s the matter of capacity:… Read More Mountain wagon: 1966 Fiat 1100D Familiare
And here is a rare 1100 TV built by Pininfarina, based on the Fiat 1100-103 that had been released — in this case — the previous year. A solid and reliable platform, upon which dozens of special versions were built by the coachbuilders of the era. This example is said to be preserved and in… Read More Green inside: 1954 Fiat 1100 TV Coupé by Pininfarina
This 1953 Stanguellini 1100 Berlinetta by Bertone represents a fascinating collaboration between two of Italy’s most respected automotive names—Bertone, renowned for its avant-garde designs, and Stanguellini, a master of Fiat-based performance engineering. Originally presented in 1950 and redesigned in 1953 by the visionary Franco Scaglione, this Berlinetta embodies the essence of mid-century Italian automotive design… Read More A special one: 1954 Stanguellini 1100/103 TV by Bertone
A ton, or rather more—about 1160 kg—is the maximum load capacity specified for this versatile van built by FIAT for 15 years, from 1957 to 1971. It played a crucial role—perhaps even more than the FIAT 500 and 600—in the Italian economic boom of that era. This van, less “noble” than the Alfa Romeo models… Read More One ton: 1966 FIAT 1100 T2
Founded in 1936 by passionate racer Jaroslav Vlcek, the Magda marque was named after his wife, who often accompanied him on the track. The Magda III was conceived with an ambitious vision for international success: a lightweight racer—just 400 kg—capable of reaching speeds of 200 km/h. Built on a tubular chassis reminiscent of the BMW… Read More Czech ingenuity: 1947 Magda III Sport 1100 Compressore
We are very intrigued by this Simca 1100, which is not difficult to spot in Europe but is extremely rare in the USA. In fact, this is probably one of the very few first-generation Simca 1100s in the American territory, and furthermore, the car seems to be in exceptional condition. The seller says it was… Read More French citizen: 1968 Simca 1100 LS
This is a very rare car, yet we saw a similar one in person a few years ago and were fascinated by it. Firstly, the name: Cisitalia is a prestigious name in the world of classic cars, but this car is not part of those first models built entirely in the factory founded by Piero… Read More Little but special: 1954 Cisitalia 33DF Voloradente
The sleek lines of this Fiat Barchetta are very appealing but at the same time left us a bit puzzled: it seemed strange that the body was made in 1956, and indeed, that’s not the case. The seller mentions that this was initially a Barchetta built in 1956 on a Fiat 1100 base, but then… Read More Green team: 1956 Fiat 1100 Barchetta by Autotecnica del Lario
Unfortunately we have to make do with a few poor photos to evaluate this very rare Pininfarina coupé. We published another one, maybe in 2017, but that was in worse condition than this car which doesn’t seem to need anything as it seems preserved: this is also what the seller claims, stating that it is… Read More White and rare: 1958 Fiat 1100 Coupé by Pininfarina
