FSO 1100 Coupé

The modern bodywork for the 1100 Coupe was outlined by Zbigniew Wattson, and underneath was hidden chassis and a weak, 55-horsepower engine of the Zastava 1100p , which was licensed by Fiat 128 in FSO. The dashboard, made of plastic, had rich equipment. In the front there were two bucket seats, and a small sofa at the back. The engine is located at the rear and a small boot at the front. An interesting solution was to mount concealed lights at the front. It was equipped with a four-speed gearbox.

It was constructed in 1973 and was shown in 1974.

The car looked very modern, it did not resemble other cars driving along Polish roads at the time. Unfortunately, the then authorities prevented him from producing, and the only prototype was scrapped.

Light and indicator lever switches, pedals, rearview mirror, ashtray, gas control and suction rods, armrests, exterior lamps, brake system and front wheel suspension were from Fiat 125p, t handle from Fiat 132 and Fiat X 1/9 steering wheel.
