Moretti 850 Spider

Automobiles

The Moretti 850 Spider was an open sports car of 1964 that Moretti coachbuilt on the standard Fiat 850 platform, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. The page says it was meant for a young market that wanted both performance and good looks, with smooth lines and an open-top layout suited to leisurely driving. It had a rear-engine layout that helped it handle well and keep a compact footprint, and an inline-four engine that gave adequate performance for its class. The Fiat platform kept production cost down, and the suspension was adapted for stability and comfort. It was built in limited numbers and shown at several motor shows, and surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives. The page names no fuel and no engine class.
