Fiat 1100 e 1200 (1953-1969)
The 1100 was the car of the Italian middle class par excellence, the often forbidden dream of those who approached the automobile in the years of the economic boom.
The heir to a successful model of the same name, it was declined for almost two decades in numerous series and variants, ranging from the placid saloons to the practical family cars, but also the aggressive 'Turismo Veloce', the elegant 1200s and the fascinating spiders: models for all tastes, but not always for all wallets.
This book tells its entire history, from its birth to its subsequent evolution, accompanied by numerous pictures and accurate technical data sheets of each of the versions.

Fiat 1100 - Le vetture che hanno fatto la storia
In the history of the automobile, Fiat 1100 is probably one of the few cars that is so closely identified with a cubic capacity. For more than 30 years, if one considers its pre-war production, the "1100" was a symbol of the medium-size Italian family runabout, able to transport four people in complete comfort at extremely low cost. The robustness and reliability of its engine was proverbial, an absolute strong point of the 1100 which was able to withstand numerous motor sport-type conversions.
The book covers the history of this unforgettable car from 1953, the year of the debut of the Nuova 1100/103, to the end of the 60s when the 1100 R - as always, available as a saloon or estate car - closed the technical and industrial life of this glorious model.
The car's story is told by the expert Alessandro Sannia and is illustrated with 250 black and white and colour photographs. Technical specifications and the traditional brief guide to restoration complete this latest title in the series.
