Moretti 127 VIP

The Moretti 127 VIP, the Fiat 127 VIP in the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing, was a limited-production version of the third-series Fiat 127 hatchback that the Turin coachbuilder Moretti conceived in the early 1980s. Wikipedia calls the 127 Vip very luxurious. Outside it kept the compact hatchback shape but gained a restyled front grille, body-coloured bumpers, unique badging and alloy wheels made for the edition, with chrome and metallic paint options. Inside, the page describes better fabrics, dashboard inserts of wood or imitation wood and extra soundproofing, while the controls were unchanged. Mechanically it kept the 903 cc inline-four engine and four-speed manual gearbox, giving about 45 horsepower, and the suspension, brakes and steering stayed largely as on the standard car. It was produced in small numbers, mainly for the domestic market. The page gives 1982 in its data table while Wikipedia says the model arrived in 1980, so no single year is stated here.
