Description
The 1948 Fiat 1100 C Cabriolet Lingotto represents one of the most elegant expressions of post-war Italian automotive design, combining refined coach built craftsmanship with Fiat’s proven engineering. Produced in extremely limited numbers as part of the M0432 special body series, this rare cabriolet stands today as a highly collectible and historically significant example of early Italian open-touring motoring.
Built at Fiat’s famed Lingotto works, the 1100 C Cabriolet embodies the transition from pre-war sophistication to post-war optimism, offering lightness, balance, and understated elegance. Its design reflects the artisanal approach of the era, where limited-series coach built bodies were created for discerning clients seeking exclusivity and refinement rather than mass production.
This example is presented in mint condition, having been carefully restored approximately 20 years ago, with no further work required. The engine was overhauled in 2019 and has since covered only 7,808 km, ensuring strong mechanical health while retaining authenticity. The roof, upholstery, seats, and interior are all in excellent condition, complemented by original instrumentation and a period valve radio, preserving the car’s original character.
Of particular note, this Fiat is 1000 Miglia eligible, significantly enhancing its desirability among collectors and historic rally participants. It carries ASI Gold Plate certification, confirming its originality and historical correctness, and has participated in numerous prestigious events. The car is fully original, accompanied by complete documentation, and remains a highly credible candidate for both concurs display and long-distance historic touring.
Offered as a rare opportunity for collectors and museums alike, the 1948 Fiat 1100 C Cabriolet Lingotto is a beautifully preserved example of Italian automotive heritage — elegant, authentic, and increasingly difficult to find in such complete and correct condition.
