Dante Giacosa, the great genius who constructed the pre-war 508C and
in the post war years the topolino, 1100T, Fiat 500 and 600 was also
behind the 1100B and E which were to become the backbone of Italian
transport during the late 40s and 50s. The 1100 B and E, were eventually
superseded by the more modern 1100 T, which is the taxi car you see in
all the Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren movies of the 50s and is
still used and made in Iran and in India.
The vehicle on offer is a van based on a 1100T chassis finished in striking two tone period Abarth livery.

This is perhaps the ultimate historic transporter and perfect if you
are campaigning Abarths with space for spare parts and equipment. The
owner informs us that it is restored and road legal.
This rig would be a great entry to the Goodwood paddock or any other
historic event throughout Europe. A wonderful vehicle to complete the
Squadra Corse!
