01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Fiat 128 Coupé Moretti is a rare and elegant vehicle that reflects the craftsmanship and design expertise of the Italian coachbuilder Moretti. Built in the factory located on Via Monginevro, Turin, this coupé was produced in a semi-handmade manner, with each unit assembled individually rather than on a traditional production line. This artisanal approach resulted in a very limited number of these custom-built vehicles being made, making the Fiat 128 Coupé Moretti a true collector’s item. Designed by the talented Dany Brawand, the 128 Coupé Moretti boasted an elegant yet aggressive line that set it apart from the standard Fiat 128 models. Its design gave the impression of a car with a much larger engine than the actual 1,100 cc displacement it housed. The sleek, sporty exterior conveyed a sense of power and performance that belied its relatively modest engine, making it an attractive choice for those seeking style and substance in a compact package. Despite its sporty appearance, the performance of the 128 Coupé was in line with the Fiat model from which it was derived. The 1,100 cc engine delivered decent performance, sufficient for everyday driving, while maintaining the reliability and efficiency for which Fiat was known. The car was capable of delivering a satisfying driving experience, especially considering its lightweight and nimble handling. Inside, the Fiat 128 Coupé Moretti was designed with practicality in mind. It offered good habitability for four passengers and could even accommodate five in a pinch, making it a surprisingly versatile vehicle for its class. The luggage compartment was also notably large, providing ample space for the needs of everyday use or weekend getaways. The Moretti 128 Coupé is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of Moretti, combining Italian design flair with practicality and performance. Its limited production and distinctive styling have made it a cherished piece of automotive history, representing a unique chapter in the story of Italian coachbuilding.
