Indian celebrities nowadays own a vast array of high-end vehicles. They have everything from the most expensive to the fastest cars available.
But for everyone, there is always that one first car that is close to theirheart. Fiat was one of the first international brands to open a store in India, despite the market being crowded with excellent local brands.
One of the first vehicles offered in the Indian market was the Fiat 1100, which quickly led to the Italian carmaker’s rise to fame. The car’s design attracted eyeballs and became a status symbol for many. Several enthusiasts continue to maintain the Fiat 1100 in excellent shape.
Surprisingly, a few veteran actors who began using automobiles still own their first vehicles, which are now considered vintage. The Fiat 1100 is used by Jackie Shroff, Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan and Rajnikanth. Read on to know about these actor’s love for the Fiat 1100 car:

Earlier this year, veteran actor Dharmendra shared a video of his first car, a Fiat 1100, which he purchased in 1960 and has been with him ever since. He stated that he has had the car for 60 years and purchased it for only Rs 18,000.
