The Attractions

Sold for around 17 years and produced in various foreign countries until the end of the last millennium, the 1100/103 was Fiat's first monocoque car, and is one of the best-loved and most successful models in the long and glorious history of the Turin-based company. It is a perfect example of what made Fiat a major player in the European mass-market motoring born in the years of the Economic Miracle: a pleasant, compact three-box sedan that was simple and relatively inexpensive.

This example belongs to the updated Special series, produced using the platform of the 1200 Granluce, which gave a more elegant and refined look to this already popular car. It has always been kept with great care, preserving all its fascinating period charm, and has had only two owners since it was first registered in Italy in September 1962.
