F.I.M.E.R, or Fabbrica Italians Motoveicoli e Rimorchi, was an Italian manufacturer based in Milan that operated briefly in the late 1940s. The company emerged during the immediate postwar period, a time when microcar production gained popularity in Italy as a response to the need for affordable and compact vehicles.
The company's notable model was the Superveturetta, a small roadster that initially appeared as a prototype without doors. However, the production version featured a redesign that included 'suicide' doors for easier access. The Superveturetta was powered by a 250cc 2-stroke twin engine, which produced 7 brake horsepower and was mounted at the rear of the vehicle. It utilized a 3-speed gearbox, and its design included a distinctive feature where the rear wheels were set narrower than the front.
Despite the innovative design, F.I.M.E.R faced financial challenges that hindered a significant production run of the Superveturetta. Although it is believed that a limited number of units were manufactured, the company ultimately did not achieve lasting success in the automotive market.
