1956 Fiat 1100 103 E Before & After

karlosdeville’s Team-BHP Garage

Engine Specifications:

4 cyl 1089cc OHV

Fuel & Tuning:

Petrol. Soon trying out a Weber/Delloroto carb.

Exhaust:

In pieces. Makes a real racket!

Suspension, wheels & tires:

5.20 14 JKTyre

Interior:

Filthy! Used as a store room for 7 years.

Exterior:

Rotten and ratty, it looks much worse then it actually is. I use it purely to scandalise people, and drive through narrow crowded lanes with no fears of getting a scratch.

EDIT - With a heavy heart, I have had to let her go. The plus side is she's gone to a great home, and remains in the forum community.

EDIT 2 - Couldnt resist uploading present day pics. What a transformation!

kunaalsaigal	Hi Karl That is one of the most beautiful Fiat 1100's I have seen. I have been desperately trying to get my hands on one, have landed up making friends with a lot of owners in the process. Its been ages since I got behind the wheels of a Fiat. Please let me know if anyone knows it a 1952 - 1957 Fiat 1100 is up for sale in or around Mumbai. Regards, Kunaal Saigal 91 9821041006	7th June 2010

moralfibre	Shrivz, doing a test fit in the car doesn't qualify to ownership of the car. Its clearly visible that you can barely get your backside in there :P.	1st February 2008
