HISTORY/OVERVIEW
Introduced in 1967, the “Sportiva” was Moretti's last car designed for customers accustomed to choosing their own trim levels with numerous accessories and finishes. With a design reminiscent of the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, it is now very rare, with only about 300 units produced and a few dozen surviving. This example is one of the first produced in 1967.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork is in its original Rosso color and is generally solid, with minimal signs of normal use and age. It was completely repainted by the previous owner a few years ago and is still shiny and solid. A polishing and detailing treatment has just been completed. A thickness gauge test showed no evidence of accidents. The chrome and bodywork details are in good overall condition. The spoked wheels are a rare option supplied with the car.
The underbody is generally solid and original, with no signs of accidents.
INTERIOR
The front and rear seats in the classic black Vipla combination are well preserved and have been restored in the past. They are in good overall condition. The dashboard is complete with rare Moretti instrumentation. The entire interior has been recently sanitized.
MECHANICS
The original 100G00 2 engine has been kept in good working order with regular ignition, starts easily, the gearbox is working as is the clutch, and the gears are working correctly. Recent maintenance on the fuel lines and tank has just been completed and the car is drivable on private property. The last technical inspection (revision) expired in 2020, and general routine maintenance is recommended before the next inspection.
