well, perhaps they were used in some other passenger cars of fiat, but im quite positive it couldnt be the 1100 103...like i said, this engine dates back to 1938, before ferrari came into the picture...so how could it be? the 1100 103 engine in current avtaar was introduced as the millecento in 53, which was an all new design, with engine carried over from the previous gen balila, albeit heavily worked upon...
Old time stories do have a way of getting embellished over the years...with all due to respect to the stalwarts of course...
I think we have Niaz on the forum, hope hes reading this!
