1949 Fiat 1100 E
It is the follower of the successful 508. Still, the doors with no B-pillar open in the middle probably to facilitate the entry to the rear. The engine has increased more in the torque- than in the power range. The transmission is
now operated by steering column shift and the handling is better, too.
Compared to the competitors with ponton body, the car has the disadvantage of modest space. After all, this keeps his weight within limits, because the self-supporting body is still missing. In summary, one can speak from
a not particularly cheap, but reliable car with good all-round qualities.
The luggage compartment has undergone significant changes. It is now accessible from the outside and contains the spare wheel, but probably because of its weight in the flap, its pivot point is at the bottom. It also makes
it look a little bulky.
Speaking of bulky, the vehicle was available as a 1100 EL, initially extended with a window as a seven-seater. In addition, it was only available with the front doors as a flatbed and van 1100 ELR, even with an additional side
window to the cargo area.
