The Attractions
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Italian motoring history. Based on the much-loved Fiat 850, the Fiat Moretti Sportiva was an attractive little sports car built by Moretti. Clad in sinuous, streamlined lines by Dany Brawand, the Sportiva was lively and full of character, elegant and fashionable.
Only 300 were built, and according to most sources only 30 remain. If this car's charming appearance didn't catch your attention, we have no doubt that these numbers did. This car is a true collector's item - a true rarity - and has been completely restored to its original splendour, with the original bodywork sandblasted and repainted to a very high standard.
It retains its original engine, overhauled and running, but also has another newly rebuilt engine with super-light aluminium pistons and increased displacement to 1,000 cm³. The chrome and Borrani spoke wheels with new Michelin AXS tyres have recently been redone, and the interior is in excellent condition, with the rare, original NARDI steering wheel.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
