Moretti Sportiva.

Here's a little gem I've been meaning to post for a while. It belongs to an acquaintance of mine, and is an object I covet more than just about anything owned by anyone I know (there's the small matter of a few Duesenbergs and a Mclaren F1 in there...). It was built in the 1970s by the children of Giovanni Moretti and is based on a Fiat 850 Berlina. This particular example is sporting Abarth power. The car is particularly tiny, and though it isn't fast, it's jewel-like in appearance, and would make a great commuter if it weren't for the impossible to replace bodywork and trim. Sorry about the crapulance of the photos, but my phone plus florescent lighting don't make for great pictures. Maybe next time I'll remember my camera. Till then, enjoy.

Innocenti Mini.

This pulled into the parking lot at Autobooks yesterday. Just thought I'd share a few pics. Despite having an updated Bertone body, this is basically a BMC Mini underneath as far as i can discern. Coolest part is the (rather large) hatch. Sorry I couldn't get any pictures of the interior.
