Moretti 1200 Coupé

The Moretti 1200 Coupé was a coupe that Moretti coachbuilt in 1957 with a design by Giovanni Michelotti, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. The page sets it in a period of rising competition in the Italian market, when compact and stylish cars were growing popular, and says the Michelotti and Moretti collaboration aimed at a car that was both attractive and useful. The body was made by traditional hand methods that gave precise proportions, with sculpted lines and a distinctive front grille. It was powered by an inline-four engine, with a compact chassis and a suspension tuned for comfort and handling. The listing says production data is limited, that surviving examples are rare and that they are recorded in private collections and institutional archives. It names no fuel, no engine class and no formal body style.
