Moretti 850 Coupé

Automobiles

The Moretti 850 Coupé was a limited coachbuilt variant of the Fiat 850 Coupé, made in Turin between 1965 and 1968 according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. It had custom bodywork and interior work by Moretti on the standard Fiat 850 Coupé platform, with a reprofiled roofline, changed front and rear treatment and altered glass apertures, and the page calls it more formal and restrained than the later Moretti 850 Sportiva. The mechanics stayed those of the donor car: a rear-mounted, water-cooled inline four of 843 cc giving about 47 horsepower, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed gearbox. The page says that Giovanni Moretti later said about 40 of this version were completed, that most went to Italy and Switzerland, and that the few survivors are in private collections.
