In 1961 there started works in the Automotive Industry Construction Bureau (Biuro Konstrukcyjne Przemysłu Motoryzacyjnego, BKPMot) upon a new small family car to replace the FSO Syrena, which was quite new at that time, but was not a modern design. There were built three prototypes, Alfa (rear drive), Beta and Delta (both front drive).[1] At the same time, the Construction Bureau of the FSO factory worked upon a new model. In 1964 both teams merged their efforts. The new car was supposed to enter production in 1968.[1]
The car was fitted with a most modern at that time angular-style three-door hatchback body (at the same time, as Renault 16). An interesting design feature was a partial frame in a forward part, enabling dismounting of the whole forward part with an engine.[1] The engine was inherited from the newest Syrena 104 - S-31, 842 cc two strokestraight-3, but a four stroke engine was predicted in the future. A suspension was independent, with spiral springs.[1]
In spite of a generally successful design, only a test batch of less than 20 Syrena 110 was manufactured in 1965-1966.[1] The Syrena 110, that could become a modern and practical popular car, fell victim to a communist planned economy. In view of limited resources of the FSO factory, and neglecting needs for a popular mas-produced car, the Polish authorities decided to cease further works upon the Syrena 110, because of a license agreement to manufacture a mid-class Polski Fiat 125p.[1] Only in the 1970s, after a political change, there appeared a much smaller popular car Polski Fiat 126p. A test batch of Syrena 110 were sold to private hands, and remained in use until the 1980s.[1] At least two cars survived, one in the Motorization Museum in Warsaw (a division of Museum of Technology, Warsaw).
