It's Fiat-based (but not actually a Fiat) and Italian-bodied.

I don't think Allemano were involved; not an Osca or a 1600.

Moretti was the only one left.... I found it as a Moretti 1200 Special Coupe from 1958, but no clue about the coach builder. May be Pininfarina ?

I don't think it was by Pininfarina.
I didn't ask for the coachbuilder as I can't find any reference to who designed or built this car.
I suspect it may have been designed by Michelotti as he did lots of work for Moretti in the 1950s, but maybe it was built by Moretti themselves?  Weren't they also coachbuilders?  Als15 will know?!

This car is a transition model from Moretti indipendent maker and Moretti coachbuilder. It was born with the Moretti 1200 engine, but soon became available with the Fiat 1100 and 1200 engine. From that moment Moretti specialized in the construction of coachbuilt Fiat.

Thanks.
And do you know if it was designed by Michelotti?

According to als' book Michelotti was the design of the 1959 version... but maybe it was the father of the previous version too...
