Description1921 Fiat 501 S Corsa Race Car (43819253535).jpg
The Fiat Motor Company was founded by Giovanni Agnelli in 1899. The name FIAT is an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino.
The Fiat 501, the first model built by Fiat after World War I, was produced from 1919-26. Available in 4 door Sedan and 2 or 4 door Cabriolet.
Fiat introduced the S and SS sports versions of the 501 in 1921.
The Maharaja of Patiala, India ordered this Fiat after seeing a similar 1.5-liter Fiat race at Monza in 1920. He requested artillery wheels, but the car arrived in India with wire wheels too weak for the local roads, so it was sent back to Turin for wheel replacement. He had 44 Rolls-Royces, all specially built for him. The Fiat 501S Corsa was among a few non-Rolls-Royce motor cars in his collection. The current owner had the car completely restored.
Engines; 1460cc 4 cyl; 501, 23hp, 501 S, 27hp and 501 SS, 30hp .
