Z320 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 You can think about how you want, having this skills for such a project I wolud be VERY pleased! By the way, did anybody at the UK ever noticed a Fiat 850 Moretti (not a 330 ml Moretti)? I love this "carousel" car very much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Interesting that it has the early TR2 thermostat housing, which has been reproduced with the help of the Spares Development Fund, and is available from Pete Cox Sportscars. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dic Doretti Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Ken tells me it is an early Doretti, 1073, so the early thermostat housing is probably original unlike the body. Cheers Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Richard Looks like the wrong radiator as the top hose is at an angle. Was that not the difference when the big thermo housing was replaced, the header tank inlet moved sideways a bit?

Interesting inlet manifold. Looks like the same one piece casting we have on the 42s but Isoponned to 4 stubs to give longer inlet tracks Nice to have room to do that. Come back fuel standoff all is forgiven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, early rad to suit that thermo housing had the top hose inlet in the centre of the header tank, it was moved over when the later housing was introduced. Though it is a custom made ally rad but they could still have moved the stub over. Stuart. Edited December 4, 2022 by stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
