Looks a bit like the BMW 507 as well.

It does a bit, but it's not one!

Is that a Ghia badge on the front fender?

What badge on the front fender?!
Thanks for bringing it to my attention - I should have removed it but have now prised it off and thrown it away..
It can't have been a Ghia badge as AFAIK this car has nothing to do with Ghia.

That's the closest looking Moretti I could find, but there still are differences

Locked for guido66 to come up with the correct model of Moretti, since it was you who got the maker right.
If you can't find it let me know so I can open it up again.

Almost...!
I haven't checked the compendium on this site but I have this from 2 separate books (incl one by the esteemed Mr Sannia) and a website as a slightly different engine size, and the evidence seems to point to my info being right.

So it's locked for you to have another go; as I said you're not far off...

Yes - it's a 1500S Coupe from 1964.
The small badge on the side which I deleted was actually a Moretti badge, which looks rather like the Ghia badge from a distance!
Here's a bigger version of the small picture you posted:
