Presentata al Salone di Parigi del 1953, la "TV" (Turismo Veloce) era la versione più performante della nuova FIAT 1100 Berlina. Lanciata nel corso del Salone di Ginevra all'inizio dello stesso anno, la 1100/ 103 presentava un telaio con carrozzeria monoscocca, mosso da un nuovo motore a quattro cilindri, con valvole in testa, di 1, 089cc. A listino, modelli con carrozzeria Berlina e Station Wagon. Per la Turismo Veloce, la potenza era stata aumentata, da 36 a 50 Cv, permettendo alla TV di raggiungere una velocità massima di 135 km/ h. Un faro supplementare singolo, al centro della griglia del radiatore, era la caratteristica estetica più distintiva della TV, che aveva anche alcune cromature in più all'esterno e poteva essere ordinata, a rischiesta, con verniciatura bicolore. Una TV Trasformabile è stata aggiunta alla gamma nel 1955. La TV è stata ampiamente utilizzata nelle competizioni dai clienti più sportivi della FIAT e, le sue vittorie più prestigiose includono le vittorie di classe alla Mille Miglia nel 1954 e nel 1955. Sulla piattaforma TV 1100, la Carrozzeria Pininfarina offrirà una sua interpretazione di Coupé a due porte. Mostrata per la prima volta al Salone di Parigi del 1953, nei tre anni successivi verrà prodotta dal famoso costruttore italiano in circa 780 esemplari. A partire dal 1955 (difficile sapere una data precisa) la Coupé TV di Pininfarina è stata modificata, con un lunotto posteriore più avvolgente, come si può osservare su questo esemplare, simile a quello utilizzato su alcune delle Ferrari abbigliate nello stesso periodo, dal carrozziere torinese. Questa affascinante piccola FIAT con carrozzeria speciale è stata preparata per le competizioni di autovetture storiche e vanta, secondo quanto riportato dal venditore, numerosi successi in gare storiche, nella classe 'GTS 1100'. Il motore è descritto come esttemamente sano e robusto, e, inoltre, con un suono meraviglioso. E' assolutamente importante notare che, molte delle parti originali necessarie, lo si desiderasse, per riportare l'auto all'originale specifica stradale, sono disponibili ed offerti asieme alla vettura. Questi comprendono la maggior parte degli interni originali, i pannelli porta, i sedili, gli strumenti, il cruscotto, il volante e le maniglie delle portiere, insieme a tutti i vetri, la griglia anteriore originale della TV ed i fari originali. La documentazione di accompagnamento consiste nel libretto italiano annullato, l'Estratto Cronologico che elenca tutti i proprietari dell'auto in Italia, il passaporto ASI e quello CSAI (quest'ultimo valido fino al 2027). Merita sottolineare che la 1100 TV Coupé Pininfarina è ammissibile alla Mille Miglia e, quindi, rappresenta una perfetta soluzione, con un mezzo relativamente poco costoso, per poter partecipare a questo prestigioso evento storico.

Premiered at the Paris Salon in 1953, the 'TV' (Turismo Veloce) was the higher-performance version of the newly introduced FIAT 1100 Berlina (saloon). Introduced at the Geneva Salon earlier that same year, the 1100/ 103 featured unitary construction of the body/ chassis and was powered by an entirely new 1, 089cc overhead-valve four-cylinder engine. Saloon and station wagon models were offered. For the Turismo Veloce, power was raised from 36 to 50bhp, giving the TV a top speed of 135km/ h. A single spot lamp on the centre of the radiator grille was a distinguishing feature of the TV, which featured additional exterior chrome trim and could be ordered with two-tone paintwork. A trasformabile (convertible) TV was added to the range in 1955. The TV was raced extensively by FIAT's more sporting customers, its most prestigious victories including class wins at the Mille Miglia in 1954 and 1955.

Carrozzeria Pininfarina offered its own two-door coupé on the 1100 TV platform. The car was first displayed at the 1953 Paris Salon, and the famed Italian coachbuilder would go on to build some 780 examples over the next three years. From around 1955 the Pininfarina TV coupé featured a wraparound rear window (as seen on this example) similar to that found on some of the Carrozzeria's Ferraris of the time.

This charming little coachbuilt FIAT has been prepared for historic racing and can, according to the vendor, boast numerous successes in historic competitions in the 'GTS 1100' class. The engine is reported to be very strong and makes a lovely sound. Importantly, many of the original parts to return the car to road-going specification are offered with it, including most of the original interior: door cards, seats, instruments, dashboard, steering wheel, and door handles; together with all glassware, the original TV front grille, and the original lights. Accompanying documentation consists of cancelled Italian registration papers, the Estratto Chronologico listing the car's owners in Italy, and ASI and CSAI passports (the latter valid until 2027). Importantly, the Pininfarina 1100 TV coupé is eligible for the Mille Miglia and thus represents a relatively inexpensive means of participation in this prestigious historic event.
