Moretti 750

The Moretti 750 was released in 1953 and was the main car Moretti built entirely to its own design. It was built in many forms during the 1950s, including saloons, estates, taxis, coupes, single seat racing cars and commercial vehicles, and the 750 won some class successes in competition. The sporting versions used a twin overhead camshaft four cylinder engine of about 750 cc designed in house, which Giovanni Moretti developed in the early 1950s, fitted to a tubular chassis and finished with spider or berlinetta bodies from Turin coachbuilders. The 750 Sport and Gran Sport raced in Italian hill climbs, the Mille Miglia and the 1956 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 750 cc class. Its showroom versions could not match the price of the Fiat 600, which pushed the company towards special bodies on Fiat mechanicals.
