Moretti 1300 Coupé

I've only seen Moretti's on the web but they are really cool, small and beautifully designed. Didn't even know of the Sportiva. What are they like to drive?

 

Fiat based Morettis are quite like the Fiat they are derived from.

Maybe a 850S or SS w/ more power has better handling and perfs.

But we do not buy these cars beacuse of their HP.

Here's mine, 3 Image Unavailable, Please Login made known :

I guess the problem is that I've never driven any of the fiats they are based on. I know they don't have a lot of horsepower. My question was more about handling...

Beautiful interior!

 

Basically, same chassis...

Some cars had upgraded engines like Vignale (my 65' 1300S originally had an engine upgraded by Siata).

But my former Samantha had normal 125S engine.

 

Indeed, also as you can see mine is a bit different because the fold in the sheetmetal goes all along the side of the body. I guess each car is pretty much unique.

 

They are.

 

So, the platform is the standard 1300? Really sweet driving cars and much under rated I think, rather overshadowed by their larger 1800/2100/2300 brothers... but actually better handling.

Yes, my Vignale 1300S has the normal type 116 platform, w/ an egine "developped" by Siata (and gear lever on to the floor - Siata brevet too).

My Moretti 1100R is a normal 1100R platform type 103.

 

New paint, new chromes, restored zamac front grille, NOS lights...

I just find this thread today
I had 3 Morettis, 2 x 124. Of which 1 was a project and one SS. Unfortunately all 3 sold. 15 years ago I found the project 124 at the baron who bought it from me at the time........in exactly the same condition as when he bought it from me. he didn't want to sell it back to me "grr".
Last year I found it with someone else, apparently the baron's son had sold it after his death. Contact was made and the new owner wanted to sell it to me.....however, I have reached the age of 72 and I no longer feel called to complete such a project. By the way, it is still in exactly the same condition as it left me more than 30 years ago.
Last year i thook posestion of a Ferrari 328 GTS ..........in condition 2
For those who are intrested the 124 looked like a Fiat Dino but in a sedan/coupe version, the SS looks like a verry small Dino first edition

 

The 850 Berlinetta looked more like a Dino.

 

Image Unavailable, Please Login Hi, thous this 124 looks like a Dino or not

 

Saw this one last year at the Geneva Concours, a western suburb of Chicago.

Out of nowhere I had an inquiry on a set of bolt up Borrani wheels I’ve had forever. They went on this Moretti.
