Moretti 1200 Berlina

Automobiles

The Moretti 1200 Berlina was a small saloon that Moretti coachbuilt in 1957, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing for it. The page places it in the years when the Moretti company was building compact cars of distinctive design and describes it as a blend of practicality and style, meant for a post-war market looking for efficient urban transport. The body was a steel structure that kept the car durable yet light, with rounded edges and a streamlined silhouette typical of the late 1950s. The listing adds that the compact chassis gave agility and easy handling, and that the suspension favoured comfort and stability in town. Production was limited and the number built is not widely available, but surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives. The page states no fuel and no engine class, so none is claimed here. Moretti also made a 1200 sports car, which has its own entry.
