The Moretti 1800 GT was a sporting car that Moretti coachbuilt in 1959, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. The page says it came from the late 1950s, when post-war Italian design combined performance with an appeal that suited the sports car culture of the day. The design aimed at streamlined proportions and light construction, using aluminium and steel for strength and agility. Mechanically it was powered by a 1.8 litre inline-four engine, with a chassis adapted for better aerodynamics under a low-slung body, independent front suspension and a solid rear axle. The listing admits that production data is limited and that chassis numbers are not fully documented, and says surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives. It names no fuel, no engine class and no formal body style, so none is claimed in this entry.
