The Fiat Company has very deep roots in the automotive industry, mostly in production, but some in racing. The legendary tuner, Abarth, helped increase the popularity and success of Fiat cars during the 1950s and 1960s, and achieve many victories around Europe.
The Fiat 500 and 600 were small, mass-produced cars and a big key to the company's prosperity during the 1950s and 1960s. The 1100 TV Fiat was a mild-deviation into the inexpensive sports car arena. Under the guidance of head designer, Giovanni Zoboli, Esparsa Comprenelli designed the 1100 TV (Turismo Veloce). Production began in the early 1950s and contiued through 1958. It was distinguishable by its split, recessed grille, roll-up windows, and wraparound windshield.
In 2008 this 1958 Fiat 1100 TV Cabriolet Voiture Especiale was brought to the Automobiles of Amelia Island presented by RM Auctions. It was offered without reserve and estimates to sell for $30,000 - $40,000. A high bid of $36,300 including buyer's premium was enough to secure new ownership.
This car has only two owners from new. In the early 2000s it was treated to a frame-up restoration that was completed in 2006. It is a low-mileage car that has been featured in numerous magazines. There is a Nardi wood steering wheel, whitewall tires, a new correct interior, faux turbine knock-off wheels, and swivel front seats. The car is painted in red with matching tan upholstery. The door panels and carpeting are finished in red trim. The Voiture Especiale designation is believed to be a reference to this particular trim package.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2008
