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.

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 ?
