The Attractions
The 1100 of the early 1950s was the first Fiat with a load-bearing body and laid the foundations for all the saloons produced by the company until the 1980s. It offered very clean three-box lines, a spacious interior, good equipment and, of course, excellent handling and road holding.
These cars are very popular with enthusiasts, who will certainly find this example particularly attractive. It is an 1100 Series 103E produced in 1957, with updated styling and improved finish. It is truly full of charm, thanks to its condition and great originality. In fact, this car has only had one owner since new and it is evident that it has always been garage-kept.
Both inside and out, it is true to its original specification and has a slight patina that gives it character and that its next owner will certainly want to preserve. It is solid, very usable and ready to be driven and appreciated.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
