The Wikipedia Fiat 1100 Italian article seems to be a good source about the model: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_1100 -- Last edit: 2008-10-24 01:45:47

DynaMike ◊ 2008-10-24 11:57	I agree with you that 1100R would be the 1966+ version. This had surprised me too, but my source is usually very well informed as well: http://www.zuckerfabrik24.de/fiat/fiat1100ix.htm
sixcyl ◊ 2008-10-24 12:15	Indeed Mike, your site seems very accurate, but german. Could it be then a designation given in Germany only? or an unofficial commercial designation? In my opinion The R is officially the last version of the 1100 , R standing for "Rinnovata" ... but in such a way this site makes a difference with "its R" (the 103H) and the 1966 model by adding "i" =Ri .... personnally I've never heard of 1966 Fiat 1100 Ri -- Last edit: 2008-10-24 12:17:14
