Fiat 1100 Primavera

Vehicle Overview

The Fiat 1100 Primavera was born in 1948 and unveiled at the Turin Motor Show by Stabilimenti Farina and was one of the last creations of the Turin coachbuilder before closing in 1953. Due to its lines very similar to those of the contemporary Ferrari 166 Inter Cabriolet, it attracted the attentions of Enzo Ferrari himself, who asked Attilio Farina, then head of the body shop, not to build them on a FIAT chassis. Only five were produced of which only one survives: this.
