Description
Fiat 1100 TV Fissore
The 1100/103 was born in 1953. From the ancestor 1100 E, only the 4-cylinder engine with a lateral camshaft of 1089 cm3 remained. The 103 was launched in April 1953 in two versions, the cheaper Type A, and the Type B, more refined, featured a modern 4-door and 3-volume body (even if the tail was much shorter in comparison with later models), with integrated mudguards and rounded tail.
In October 1953, the 103 TV version (Turismo Veloce) was launched with an improved 14 hp engine (for a total of 50, against 36 of the other versions), two-tone paint, richer finishes and a third central headlight (inserted into the schedule). In 1956, a restyling was carried out for the 103 sedan and the family, bringing the 103 E-series to life. In addition to the changes to the front (new grille) and interior (dashboard, instrumentation, heating), the sedan benefited from a new design of the rear lights and a different positioning of the spare wheel in the luggage compartment. The TV also received a new front grille and two-tone paint. Technically, all versions, in addition to a slightly improved engine (50 hp for the normal versions and 53 for the TVs), have adopted a new transmission shaft.
