Moretti 500

The Moretti 500 was a small three-seater torpedo car with a 500 cc two-cylinder engine mounted at the front and rear-wheel drive. The carrozzieri-italiani history of the firm places it in the second half of the 1930s and calls it the first Moretti car, built when Giovanni Moretti, who had started with motorcycles, three-wheelers and a quadricycle, moved into passenger cars. Wikipedia lists it first among the models that Moretti designed and built itself, ahead of the postwar Cita, 600 and 750. It belongs to the early period of the firm's own designs, long before it settled on special bodies for Fiat chassis. The pages read give no production figures and no exact year, so none is stated here.
