No, the engine isn't Fiat in the Moretti 750 Zagato. It is a special light alloy Moretti twin-overhead camshaft 4 cylinder with two 2bbl sidedraft Weber carbs, and about 70 horsepower in a car that weighs about 1200 pounds. Moretti only built about 40 cars with this engine in the early to mid-1950s. Only 2 had Zagato coachwork. Most of the cars were open spiders.
