European Auto Restoration bought this battered, neglected old vehicle from a tow truck driver in Chicago a few years ago. We recently began a full scale restoraton from the ground up. Our goal is to have this vehicle along with it's little brother (a 1960 Fiat 1200 Granluce) as our concours show cars. |

In 2007 the 2100 was completed and ready for the road. Every detail down to the original liscence plate from Salerno, Italy was looked after. A real jewel to add to our collection. |
