For a point: What was it originally and who's responsible for the conversion of the rear?

Do Experts know more about this car than Rookies?

Dkw based?

75america · January 06, 2013, 10:33:55 AM

No DKW connection.

kwgibbs · January 06, 2013, 10:37:01 AM

BORGWARD?

Jensen?

Peerless?

Rear lights seems to be Alfa Romeo Giulietta's ones...is there a connection?

75america · January 08, 2013, 11:26:15 AM

No Borgward, Jensen, Peerless or Alfa Romeo connection.
And I don't think these are Giulietta rear lights.

Italian?

targhediferro · January 08, 2013, 11:50:54 AM

The lights of rear plate are for sure those of Fiat 1100/103 D-H-(1957-1965), so I think Italy is a good gamble.

Fiat 1400 ?

75america · January 08, 2013, 12:35:41 PM

It's indeed Italian, it is even based on a Fiat 1100 (although I do not know which generation and version).
But there is still information (that I know) about the original car missing.
Also the person responsible for the modification of the rear is still missing.
According to the information I have, the conversion must have been made in the second half of 1956 or the first half of 1957.

Steering wheels is a Nardi. 1100 Nardi?

thorax · January 08, 2013, 05:18:28 PM

Fiat 1100 Tv Boano - Giannini?

75america · January 09, 2013, 06:32:21 AM

I have no idea if the steering wheel is from Nardi.
This car has nothing to do with Nardi, Boano or Giannini.

targhediferro · January 09, 2013, 10:59:09 AM

Is it a one-off?

75america · January 09, 2013, 11:36:27 AM

I think that the original car was not a one-off (I think a small series was made, but most probably, none of them was identical.)
The conversion of the rear is a one-off job.

Original body by Zagato?

Yes. The 'most probably, none of them was identical' part of my response gave that away

Now for the second part of the puzzle...
Is another coachbuilder?

75america · January 09, 2013, 03:40:48 PM

No, but later on the guy worked (and still works) at least for 2 different coachbuilders.
But as far as my knowledge reaches, these carrozzieri were more 'carbody repair shops' than carrozzeria in its meaning we mostly use here at Autopuzzles

targhediferro · January 10, 2013, 01:08:21 AM

Fantuzzi?

75america · January 10, 2013, 11:02:55 AM

A tad more obscure than Fantuzzi, but one of the guys other creations is already featured on Autopuzzles...

targhediferro · January 10, 2013, 12:15:53 PM

Do you know if it's based on 1100E or 1100/103 TV?
