1949 Fiat Colli 1100 S for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1949 Fiat Colli 1100 S is a used car. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa.

The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom.

The Fiat 1100 S uses the 1,089 cc overhead-valve straight-four derived from the Cisitalia 202 engine, with an oil cooler, a centrifugal water pump and shell-type bearings, rated at 51 PS (38 kW) at 5,200 rpm, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. Derived in 1947 from the 1100 B and designed under Dante Giacosa, the 1100 S was an aerodynamic sports coupé without bumpers, with enclosed rear wheels and a top speed of 150 km/h. It keeps the separate frame and independent front suspension of the 1100 family. Fiat built 401 examples until 1950, and the model took second place overall in the 1948 Mille Miglia.

Carrozzeria Colli, founded in Milan in 1931 by Giuseppe Colli and his four sons, specialised in aluminium bodies; its very first car was a competition car built on Fiat 1100 chassis and mechanicals.

FAQ

This Fiat Colli 1100 S in the European market

Is this Fiat priced above or below the European market?

At £134,950, about €157,890, it sits above the median of €49,958 for the 3 Fiat advertised in Europe in 2026. 67% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Fiat be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Which other Fiat are priced closest to this one?

a 2024 car in Germany at €49,958, and a 1976 car in Italy at €38,000. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Fiat 1100 S, and how does a purchase work?

Tom Hartley, a professional dealer in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Fiat 1100 S be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Swadlincote, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Fiat 1100 S still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Tom Hartley before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
