Info needed: Fiat 1100 TV by Boano (tuned by Giannini?)
Giannini is another one of those Italian car builders that started with tuning and modifying cars for competition use. They are most famous for the Giannini version of the Fiat 500, which was very successful in competition and sold more than the Fiat 500 Abarth. Here we found a coupé for sale in Naples, Italy, most probably based on a Fiat 1100.
Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find much information about this car. It looks very pretty but would benefit from some restoration. It must be a mid to late 1950s design. It kinda looks like a compact Volvo P1800 (which came out in 1961). It has an aluminium body.
We really like the simple design of the rear end. The round tail lights would give it away that it was based on the Fiat 1100. The rounded rear windscreen is a nice feature of the design. The car is for sale for a whopping EUR50,000. If you have more information on theses cars, please email submit@classiccarhunter.com.
This car is no Giannini. It may have been tweaked by Giannini but is a 1956 Fiat 1100 sport TV Boano..
Actal design wasby Michelotti and can be seen around rearwindows and grille area..Nik
Thanks Nik
