Chassis #2771
Some Historical Highlights of the Moretti Tour du Monde 750 cc. Spyder Convertible #2771.
This Moretti Tour du Monde 750cc. Spyder Convertible was purchased in November 1960 in Sterling Illinois. The car was registered with the State of Illinois as a 1960 model; however, taking into consideration the chassis #2771, I suspect that it may have been manufactured in the time frame of 1957 – 1959. The car was originally painted dark red, and the owner is still looking for a better photo taken of the car in July 1962, with the Golden Gate Bridge in California as background. In August 1962, the car was damaged in a horrendous hailstorm, with hailstones the size of golf balls, near Taos New Mexico. Upon returning to Illinois, the damage was repaired, and the car was repainted white; the photo from November 1962 shows the car painted white and parked in front of the Dillon Estate Coach House in Sterling Illinois.
