In 1925, Giovanni Moretti established the Moretti Motor Company, a firm that crafted motorcycles using his own designs alongside those of other companies. The company also delved into producing microcars, electric-powered trucks, and electric cars during World War II. In 1953, they introduced the 750 model in various versions such as coupes, taxis, single-seat racing cars, and berlinas. However, the late 1950s saw a halt in car design and production, and by 1989, Moretti ceased all operations.
Now, turning to the Moretti Tour du Monde 750 coupe, it stands as one of only 9 meticulously handcrafted specimens and holds the distinction of being an exceedingly rare right-hand drive model. Following a careful restoration spanning 2 years at Classic Car Restorations, the coupe was revived to its original colors with rejuvenated leather upholstery. Though some minor mechanical enhancements were undertaken, its usage has been sparing.
