Time to give away some points. You know the drill - tell me the name of the car pictured below and you'll be awarded a point  :)
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Now that was quick :P Yes, it's the Moretti Sporting 4x4 based on Fiat Campagnola. I must admit I expected a car of which there are only like 4 photos in the interwebz to last longer. Here goes a point.

And congratulations on becoming an Expert. That unfortunately means that you cannot guess in the Rookie section any longer ;)

Well done Hondast - that really was double-quick time!  :applause: :applause:

However - note you have have still given lots of answers today in the Rookie section which technically of course you cannot do now...

Should they not be removed to give the Rookies a chance?

No problem. I had not seen the score. Sorry. Now the difficulty increases. I can put photos on Rookie?

Does anybody have some info about this car? Or at least more pics? I've only ever seen the above three plus this b&w one.

According to World Cars 1979:
Based on a Fiat Campagnola frame and running gear, this 8-seater squarerigger with 6 seats folding away to create ample cargo space offers more comfort than most off-road vehicles.
Wheelbase 91 in (230 cm) weight 4,230 lb (1920 kg) dry.


that's all I'm afraid.  :-\

2.5L diesel engine with about 70hp
Less than 30 made
A Moretti web site includes the original puzzle image.  Except for that site, and the promotional images, I see no indication that more than one of these has survived.

Here is an image with the back open, showing the jump seats.
