The Fiat 1100 was one of Italy’s most versatile post-war platforms, serving as the basis for countless racing specials built by independent coachbuilders and skilled craftsmen.

The Fiat 1100/103 opened a new phase for Fiat when it appeared in 1953, with a modern unitary body and a more contemporary shape than the earlier 1100 series. That matters here because the listing describes this car as a 1948 Fiat 1100 Pininfarina, but that date is not consistent with a 1100/103-based car. If… Read More White puzzle: 1953 FIAT 1100-103 Coupé by Pininfarina

This rare veichle is a Fiat 600 Multipla pick-up (Cassonato), one of the rarest and least-documented variants of the entire Multipla family. This is not a modern or improvised conversion, but a genuine period commercial version, produced in extremely small numbers and today almost never encountered, especially in a complete and coherent state like this… Read More Little pick up: 1960 Fiat 600 Multipla “Cassonato”
Rare and unique are the words that best define this 1949 Fiat 1500D Convertible, styled and bodied by the prestigious Stabilimenti Farina. This is not just any early postwar Fiat: it is the six-cylinder Fiat 1500, the refined evolution of the prewar 1500 “6C,” one of the most advanced Italian family cars of the late… Read More Maroon six / 2: 1949 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet by Farina
A handsome survivor in rosso ossido (oxide red), this Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé pairs one-owner provenance with the right kind of mechanical pedigree: the alloy, DOHC Dino V6 conceived for Ferrari and mass-built by Fiat so the engine could be homologated for late-’60s Formula 2. The coupé’s crisp fastback lines came from Bertone—first sketched under… Read More Oxide red: 1968 Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé by Bertone
