Standard or documented features

The '''Fiat Nuova 1100''', or '''Fiat 1100/103''' as it was called after its internal project number, was introduced at the April 1953 Geneva Motor Show
On left hand drive versions of both the Type A and Type B cars, the dashboard contained a large plastic badge (on the right hand side) stating "Millecento" covering the orifice where a radio could be installed
At 1,225,000 Italian lire (1953 price) the 1100 TV was markedly more expensive than the standard Tipo A and B saloons, priced respectively 945 and 975 thousand lire
Abroad, it was alternatively known as the 1100 Family, 1100 Familiale, 1100 Kombiwagen, or 1100 Familiar in English-, French- German-, and Spanish-speaking markets respectively
Compression ratios were raised to 7:1 for the standard engine and 8:1 for the Turismo Veloce's, for a PS (to 40 PS CUNA at 4,400 rpm) and PS (to 53 PS CUNA at 5,200 rpm) gain in power respectively
Exterior distinguishing features of the 1958 model were a new grille made of thin vertical bars crossed by four horizontal ones, with a ''Millecento'' (1100 spelled out in Italian) script on its centre, and "stepped" chrome spears on the sides
Engine output went up from 40 to 43 PS (48 PS SAE) at 4,800 rpm, thanks to a larger carburettor, a new aluminium cylinder head, and a water-cooled inlet manifold with an individual duct per each cylinder
Export, Special and Familiare all used the same front end, as fitted to the Lusso and the 1959 restyled Granluce
front and rear the bumpers had less bulky over-riders, without rubber inserts
