Fiat 1100S Spider

This sports car simply has it all: rarity, provenance, authenticity, reliability, performance and... beauty! This unique Fiat 750-1100 S was very intelligently designed by yet another Italian sportscar wizard Marino Brandoli using the best artisans and the best technology available in the mid-fifties (see "Brandoli" in the well known book: "La Sport e suoi Artigiani"). Very famous names pop up when it comes to body and chassis: the full alloy body was designed by Michelotti and built by carrozzeria Motto from Torino, while the tubular chassis was designed by Gilco (Gilberto Colombo). The concept of the engine is also quite ingenious: it's basically a Fiat 1100S engine with special Marino cylinder head, but by changing the connecting rods it could be modified to run in the 750 cc or 1100 cc class. The excellent results in competition prove that Marino Brandoli chose the right mix for success: - 1955 Mille Miglia (750 cc class): 13th in class - 1955 Hillclimb Aosta Etroubles: 2nd overall - 1955 Hillclimb Lessolo in Alice: 1st in class and 3rd overall - 1955 Hillclimb Aosta - Gran San Bernardino: 3rd in class - 1956 Mille Miglia (1100 cc class): DNF Truly amazing is that today this sportscar is still totally original and in excellent condition. A spectacular preservation class exhibit! This is also recognized by the FIVA (A/2 classification) and the ASI (Targa d'Oro). The very well documented history file contains many period black/white photographs and lots of documentation about the Mille Miglia participations in 1955 and 1956. Over the past years, the car has been brought to a very high level of reliability. Next to large rallies such as the 2016 and 2017 Mille Miglia and the Zoute Grand Prix, this car has driven many local rallies, each time making it more and more reliable. At all these events, the car stunned the competition with its performance. Be prepared to get envious looks from Ferrari and Maserati drivers who have difficulties overtaking you on the curvy Italian roads! A guaranteed Mille Miglia participation in a genuine sports barchetta has never been so alluring!
