The Appeal
The Fiat 1100 Familiare is everything you'd want from an Italian station wagon. Quietly stylish, charming and practical - eminently usable and perfect for families. This particular example remained with the same family from new until 2023. The current owner acquired it from an Italian dealer after personally viewing it in the Romani Conti Pistoia region, falling in love with its unique lines and original Bleu Azur paintwork.
What makes this Fiat especially appealing is the combination of its well-preserved condition and the comprehensive mechanical work that has been carried out. It's received significant attention to its running gear, with replacement of ball joints, silent blocks, transmission coupling, and steering components, ensuring it drives exactly as it should.
