The Moretti 500 Camping was a limited-production leisure variant of the Fiat Nuova 500 that Carrozzeria Moretti built between 1957 and 1961, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. The page puts it in the Italian spiaggina tradition of compact cars for light utility and seasonal recreation, with estate-type coachwork, a revised interior, a canvas folding roof and often wicker or spartan seating. It kept the rear-engine layout of the Fiat 500, with an air-cooled two-cylinder engine of 499 cc at the rear, and the page gives a top speed of about 90 to 95 km/h. It was shown at the Turin Motor Show in late 1957. Production was highly limited, probably a few dozen, and most examples stayed in Italy. The page names no fuel and no engine class.
