Moretti Fiat 1200 Spider

Automobiles

The Moretti Fiat 1200 Spider was an open sports car that Moretti coachbuilt in 1958 on the Fiat 1200, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. The page says it answered a growing demand for stylish, compact sports cars that joined performance to Italian craftsmanship, and that Moretti worked carefully on proportions and detail, using its skill in lightweight construction to give clean lines and an elegant silhouette. It had a 1.2 litre inline-four engine, on a chassis from Fiat with independent front suspension and a solid rear axle. Production was limited, the car was shown at the 1958 Turin show, and surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives. The page names no fuel, no engine class and no formal body style.
