The Attractions
After two Moretti 750s had won first and second place in their class in the first edition of the Algiers rally, a special model was created in honour of their success: the Alger Le Cap. Very few examples were made, and the seller estimates that no more than a dozen remain.
Purchased 12-13 years ago, this example has been on static display for the most part, and has covered only 500-600 kilometres after receiving a thorough restoration, which included a professional repainting from bare metal and a complete mechanical restoration.
Because it has been stationary for a while, the seller recommends a careful tune-up of the mechanics, although the car has been stored with the utmost care in a dry environment that has prevented the development of any form of corrosion. The original colours have been preserved both inside and out and the car comes with a Certificate of Historical Significance.
For experienced collectors, this is a unique opportunity to acquire an extraordinarily rare classic.
