Title: Moretti
Post by: als15 on January 25, 2015, 07:21:28 AM
Perhaps you remember my old post about "time machines". Well, after a lot of time spent into the time-machine - that is actually Mr. Gianni Moretti's office - a big book on Moretti history is finally published.

216 pages and more than 400 pictures and drawings cover the full company history since 1925 until 1989, when automotive production came to an end.

The book is published in Italian and English (special thanks to our Carnut that made another excellent translation) and the cover price is 39,90 Euros (plus shipping).

At the special price of 50 Euros you can have also "Dany Brawand designer" (that costs normally 29,90) with several additional Moretti sketches and drawings.

Received my copy today!
I just look at those pictures...there are a lot of original pics and all Moretti cars are there: production cars (with a list of all of them at the end with technical specs), racing cars (again with a list of all their results), coachbuilts, commercials...
It is the kind of book I have to have.
:thumbsup:

Nice to have met Joao last weekend at the Turin classic car show (Automotoretrò). It's really a pleasure when we can finally meet each other not just on this (amazing) forum!

And thanks to everybody for liking my new book.
The next one, just to rise the expectations, is already at a good stage and will cover the whole Carrozzeria Vignale's history.
Thanks to an outstanding author (this time will not be myself directly) as Alfredo Zanellato Vignale - which shared with his uncle also the last years of the Carrozzeria - we will have a first-hand story. All illustrated with several hundred pictures and the target to cover each one of the more than 350 cars made by Vignale.
