Moretti 500 Spider

The Moretti 500 Spider was an open sports car of 1961 that Moretti coachbuilt under its own name, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. The page sets it in the Italian automotive renaissance of the early 1960s, with an emphasis on compact design and lightweight construction, clean lines and an open-top layout that suited a growing market for sports cars. It had a rear-engine layout, which the page calls a hallmark of Moretti design, and an inline-four engine meant to balance performance and handling for city driving and leisurely trips, on a chassis built to carry a light body. Production was limited and the car was shown at various exhibitions. Surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives. The page names no fuel and no engine class.
