FIAT 1100/103E TV: A PREVIEW OF ONE OF THE CARS ON DISPLAY AT OUR STAND AT MODENA MOTOR GALLERY
Built by Fiat's Special Bodywork department, itboasts the most powerful engine mounted on the 1100s up to that point (53CV).
This car is the second series of the Fiat 1100/130TV: the one set up on the 1100/103 type and remained in production for just over a year, between June 56 and the 1957 Turin Motor Show, held in October, when it was presented the Fiat 1200 light replacement; the number of built models is not known because the frame numbers are cumulated with those of the normal sedan but it is safe to assume that they are very few and even fewer survivors .
Built by Fiat's Special Bodyworks department, it boasts the most powerful engine mounted on the 1100s up to that point (53hp), it is able to give this luxury sedan very interesting performance at the time.
The photographed specimen was registered for the first time in March 1957 in the province of Pisa with the plaque still present today; from the photocopy of the original vehicle registration card it is clear that the car is also fitted with its original 103E engine N. 328193 as original equipment.
Abandoned in the premises of a car dealer Where it is noticed by the one who, in 1993, will proceed to its complete restoration: an operation so well conducted that the car is in conditions, excellent even today, after 26 years.
On this occasion it is painted in the same light/ dark green metallic pattern on the copy which, in 1957, won its class in the last edition of the Mille Miglia driven by Ersilia Mandini and Luigi Bertazzi.
Meanwhile, in February 1995, this Fiat 1100 obtained second- level ASI identification Certification (a classification no longer in use for a couple of decades) due to some differences detected; some just like the presence of the electric fuel pump and the external rear- view mirror started at the door; others are the result of an error such as the shape of the circles with the elliptical holes not present only on the very first examples of 1956.
In any case, the history of the second life of this 1100/103 E TV is told in great detail in the November 1999 issue of Ruoteclassiche which also sees it as the protagonist of the cover; to this story it is necessary to add that the original instrumentation has been restored, duly revised, crossed- ply tires with a white side have been filled and the equipment on board has been integrated.
This specimen will be exhibited in our stand at Modena Motor Gallery, 21-22 September, we are waiting for you!
