01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Fiat 1100 E Zagato, a masterpiece crafted by the Milanese coachbuilder, emerged in 1952, a period marked by post-war recovery and the Italian populace’s fervor for mobility after enduring challenging years. Only five of these automotive jewels were meticulously assembled by Zagato, each representing a testament to innovation and style. Originally conceived for racing and competitions, the 1100 Zagato boasted lightweight materials, an exquisite silhouette, and a potent Abarth engine. Over time, this automotive gem underwent revisions and enhancements, particularly in its bodywork. Between 1952 and 1953, Zagato crafted five specimens, each destined to leave an indelible mark on automotive enthusiasts. Recently, one of these rare Zagato-bodied models resurfaced, reclaiming its rightful place under the Roman sun. Despite its near-desolate condition, meticulous restoration efforts ensued, guided by a commitment to preserve its heritage. Through painstaking research and unwavering dedication, this vintage masterpiece was meticulously rejuvenated, effectively transcending the confines of time. Every detail, from the interior appointments to the bodywork and materials, was painstakingly restored to its original glory. The result is a pristine manifestation of automotive history, a testament to the enduring allure of Zagato’s craftsmanship and the timeless appeal of the Fiat 1100 E Zagato. This particular beautiful one was restored by Strada e Corsa.
