In this case, the first owner, was a textile entrepreneur of Biella (then part of the province of Vercelli), who at 35 years wanted to stand out with an agile but unique car, in fact "Elite".
It seems that falling in love occurred at the Turin Motor Show in 1956, which took place in spring from April 21st to May 2nd and the decision was almost impromptu, so much so that a car belonging to the last 1636 chassis of 1100 103 was chosen ( between Bauletto and TV first series) and registered on June 5, 1956 (frame 255364). In fact from the 257000 frame the second series of the 103 called 103 E will come into production. The vehicle is a matching number, mostly preserved with original plates and documents. Anti-theft Bloster of the time, prepared for connecting mobile phones and / or navigator. The car has always been kept running and is equipped with an electric petrol pump and is in order with the periodic revision until January 2020. Change and new clutch. No suspension noise, differential ... A show! It is not a TV, but being a 103 of 1956 can aspire to be registered with the Historical Mille Miglia. The production numbers of this Elite Vignale are not known. What we know is that you can hardly find another one, at a gathering like this. A car for many, but not for all ... Precisely "d'Elite". |
