Moretti Multipla Mare

The Moretti Multipla Mare was a beach version of the Fiat Multipla that Moretti, an Italian manufacturer and coachbuilder, made between 1958 and 1961, according to the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing. Moretti was known for small batches of modified Fiats, with an average volume of about 1,500 cars a year, and the Mare was designed for coastal regions where people wanted a car for beach trips and leisure. It kept the practical features of the Multipla, a design the page praises for ample interior space in a compact form and flexible seating, but Moretti removed the roof and fitted a foldable soft top. The interior used weather-resistant, easy-to-clean materials such as vinyl seats. The page says only a small number were made and records one sale of 52,500 US dollars at a Mecum auction in 2015. It names no fuel, no engine class and no survival status.
