Some cars are not just classics—they are legends. The 1948 Fiat 1100 S is a true racing icon, a masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship that transcends the boundaries of time. More than just a stylish ‘Rosso Corsa’ berlinetta, this car was born for the track, forged in the heat of competition. With its spirited 1089cc engine and a featherweight of just 890 kg, it seamlessly blends agility and speed, embodying the essence of racing excellence. Its rich history is intricately tied to the world-famous Mille Miglia. From the moment the then Rapi-bodied beauty rolled out of Turin in 1948, the Fiat 1100 S was destined for greatness. In 1951, it made its first appearance in the Mille Miglia, one of the world's most celebrated endurance races in the world, sporting race number 253 and expertly driven by the skilled duo of Adolfo Macchieraldo and Luciano Campigotto. 

But that was just the beginning. Now rocking the dropdead gorgeous Motto bodywork with race number 257, the Fiat 1100 S returned to the Mille Miglia in 1952, this time under the capable hands of Carlo Succo and Reinaldi. Competing in the Gran Turismo Internazionale class (1500 cc), the car demonstrated its agility and speed on the challenging Italian roads, leaving behind a trail of impressive times documented between Brescia, Ravenna, Aquila, Rome, and Siena. The car’s racing pedigree was undeniable, and its reputation grew as it continued to prove itself on the world’s most prestigious racetracks. But the thrills didn’t stop there. The Fiat 1100 S Motto continued to showcase its prowess in various events, including the Aosta-Gran San Bernardo Hillclimb in 1952, where it secured an impressive 9th place in the Coppa Gran Turismo Internazionale. 

Over the years, this car has been cherished by some of the most respected collectors and racers in the world, including Guiseppe Pilone, Luca Bertolero, and Fiorenza Morellato, with Gloria Mantovani further continuing the tradition of this car’s active participation in the recent Mille Miglia since 2017. What makes this Fiat 1100 S Motto truly exceptional is not just its racing history, but the fact that it comes with an incredible dossier of documentation.
