Moretti 1100 Spider

Automobiles

The Moretti 1100 Spider was a two-door roadster that Moretti coachbuilt in 1961 to a design by Giovanni Michelotti, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. The page says Moretti was then known for small, stylish cars and that the 1100 Spider showed its commitment to quality coachbuilding, with lightweight construction and sporty looks in line with early 1960s trends. The body had an aerodynamic silhouette of flowing lines and a compact form, built with traditional hand-formed panels, and the chassis was meant for agile handling. An inline-four engine gave adequate performance for its class. The listing says specific production data are not readily available but that surviving examples have been documented, which points to a limited run. It names no fuel and no engine class.
