1955 | FIAT 1100-103 E TV-Convertible

This 1955 FIAT 1100-103 E TV Convertible is an extraordinary and rare collector's piece, a true gem for connoisseurs of vintage Fiat models. The Fiat 1100-103 TV Convertible is a remarkable example of post-war Italian engineering, combining elegance with functional design. The first series of this model was produced in limited numbers, with only 455 examples made out of a total of 571, all crafted in the “Special Bodywork” department of Fiat’s Turin factory.

This car, recognized as number 124, was first registered in Milan on May 16, 1955. It is one of the rarest versions of the Fiat 1100/103 TV Convertible, standing out with its unique features such as the eyelids over the headlights and larger rear lights. These two distinctive characteristics were introduced by Fiat’s Special Bodywork department and have remained unchanged since the car's production in 1955—making this an absolutely one-of-a-kind vehicle.

The car's interior features seats and panels upholstered in a tasteful beige and brown leather combination, exuding luxury and class. The wooden and aluminum steering wheel, with a chromed horn ring, complements the vintage feel, while the original AM car radio and the antenna on the right front fender reflect the car's period-accurate accessories. The spoked wheel covers with two-fin wing nuts and the aeronautical decoration on the bonnet further enhance the car’s distinct look. Additionally, the side repeaters of the “torpedo” indicators on the fenders and the iconic black canvas hood give this Fiat a truly charming and elegant character.
