Fiat 1100 / 508CM Staff Car

Produced between 1939 and 1945, the Fiat 1100 'Torpedo Militare' or Fiat 508CM was based on the civilian Fiat Balilla. Before the start of WW2 the Italian Inspector for Motoring demanded a light vehicle for use in the Italian colonies. The 508CM had a higher clearance and a military body and was produced cheaply. It was capable of 80km/h and had reasonable cross country performance. Production of the Fiat 1100 continued after WWII as a civilian vehicle until 1969. Metal cast kit.
