    Is it? It was on the Fiat 1100 folder, perhaps a Fiat 1100 with a special body?

    EDIT You are right, it's an OSCA MT4.

    1949 Fiat 1100S MM Berlinetta

    Estimate:
    €110.000-€140.000

    51 bhp, 1,089 cc inline four-cylinder engine with overhead-valves, single Weber carburettor, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, rigid rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and anti-roll bar, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 2,400 mm (94.5")

    The 1100S was Fiat’s first post-war sports car, with a strong lineage as a derivative of the pre-war 1100 “Nuova Balilla,” which appeared in 1937 and begat the Mille Miglia-winning 508 C MM of 1938. Despite retrograde styling, the 1100 was described by author L.J.K. Setright as “the only people’s car that was also a driver’s car.” The 1100 S Mille Miglia was based on the light and rigid X-member frame of the 1100B sedan. Fiat’s Carrozzerie Speciale department developed the aerodynamic body, directed by Giuseppe Cogno. Wind tunnel testing allowed the 1100S MM to reach speeds of 150 km/h, and in competition, the 1100 S MM took fifth through ninth place overall at the 1947 Mille Miglia, followed by second, third and fourth place finishes in 1948.

    The body of chassis 500065 is confirmed by FIVA as having first been fitted to a shortened Fiat 1400 chassis. Later, it was fitted to this 1100 S MM chassis, and the Rapi-designed, Series I Sport 8V body remained on this chassis. As offered, it is certified by the Italian Historic Automobile Club (ASI) as having the first steel Sport 8V body, representing perhaps the prototype of the enigmatic and iconic Fiat 8V or Otto Vù, which was developed in secret and utilised the sophisticated underpinnings of the 1100 S MM.

    It has competed in many editions of the Mille Miglia, most recently in 2001, and has formed a part of several important Italian collections, including that of Mario Righini. The engine was completely overhauled in 2009, and the car comes complete with its corresponding ASI gold plate, numbered 1373, which was awarded more than 30 years ago.
