Whenever I see one for sale they always look to be sitting too high on their suspension - but that one looks OK ...

I like the other Moretti poking its nose into the picture in the background, too...

OK, so yes it's a Moretti 850.

I liked the pic because I think the red one looks really good from this angle (I don't like the rear quarter so much on these cars), and I hadn't seen one with that sporty front end before (that silver Sportiva in the background is the one I'm more familiar with).

How much are they going for these days, Andy?

Their prices vary significantly depending on the model & who's selling but typically for the 850 Sportiva (the model most commonly seen) the price range for a good one is in the £20-25k region.

However, the interiors are fairly horrible ...

The surprise is that they’ve not realised the filter cap is this side...

Cooper S with twin tanks.
Sladey, you must know who the Brit is?

Ale Issigonis, creator of the Mini.
From what I've read, totally chalk and cheese people, but both so brilliant.

It's one of two 'specials' built for Enzo - check the front indicators and spot lights. Cool!
