Moretti 600

Automobiles

The Moretti 600 followed the Cita closely and was the second conventional car the Turin firm sold after the Second World War. The carrozzieri-italiani history says that in 1949 the in-house engineers, among them Giovanni Ladetto, Augusto Blatto and Giovanni Moretti, added two cylinders to the Cita engine and put the 600 into production, and that it stayed on the price list until 1952, when the 750 replaced it. Wikipedia dates it only to shortly after the Cita and credits the 600 and the 750 with some competition success in the 1950s. A 600 Giardinetta estate was used for a world raid of 120,000 kilometres between 1952 and 1955, its engine sealed by a notary to prove its toughness.
