Solved: PN #811 -- Moretti 850 Sportiva
« on: October 13, 2015, 03:36:18 PM »
Maybe a repost, I dunno. This photo was taken in France in 1971. Any idea on what is this? I have no clue.
So a point will be awarded if you can positively ID the car with proof

I second that, it is a Moretti Sportiva based on Fiat 850. Still wondering where the wrong chrome bar came from.

PS. The photo was taken in Paris, Place du Tertre.

Thank you

We had a Moretti 850 SS before:

So what's the correct heading for this one and for that one?

I think this one is the Sportiva, while the other one was just called Coupé.

Perhaps a derived like this Moretti Giannini 1000 ?
