Based on the Fiat 1100-103, numerous special bodies were built in Italy in the 1950s. In the past, we have already reported on the Derby Cabrio<\/a><\/strong> by Bertone and the Charmant<\/a><\/strong> built by Vignale. Now we tell the story of another special model from Vignale. Desir\u00e9e is the name the design house chose to express its desire for the beautiful coup\u00e9 body. Fiat had included the first 1100 in its model range as early as 1937. After World War 2, production continued until 1953. Then the 1100-103 with a self-supporting body replaced the old model. A four-door sedan, a five-door station wagon called Familiare and the convertible Trasformabile were available from the factory. The new production method made the work of independent coachbuilders more difficult. The bodies now also had to be designed to be self-supporting instead of simply being built on a platform frame. However, as long as there were no crash regulations, the small companies in Italy were still able to survive relatively well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brief history of the Fiat 1100<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the hood of the 1100-103, which was also offered as the Nuova 1100, was a 1.1-liter four-cylinder engine. This initially produced 26.5 kW\/36 hp. Above this was the TV with 37 kW\/50 hp. From 1956, the normal model was upgraded to the 1100-103 E (29 kW\/40 hp). At the same time, the TV received a power increase to 39 kW\/53 hp. This was enough for a topspeed of around 140 kph, depending on the body. Fiat also added details such as a two-tone metallic paint finish to the standard equipment. In the following years, there were further model upgrades to the 1100-103 D (31.6 kW\/43 hp) and 1100-103 H (36.5 kW\/48 hp). In 1960 the designations changed: 1100 Export (rear-hinged doors) or 1100 Speciale (front-hinged doors, body of the Fiat 1200). This was followed by the 1100 D with less chrome (1962) and finally the 1100 R with disc brakes. Production ended in 1970 in favor of the Fiat 128, introduced a year earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n
