NICE SCORE! I almost got an X, ended up with a 124 instead, but you can't knock a small mid-rear Italian, only other ones I now are Ferraris

Nice one. I love the idea of Fiat X1/9s - almost bought two but never actually done it.

Neat find. I found a killer deal on an X1/9 soon after graduating from school, but at the time there was no way I could handle a second car.

Awesome find!

Head on over to the XWebforums and introduce yourself and learn all about how to improve the electrical system and how to properly get the air bubbles out of the coolant system.

I do have a spare 1500cc EFI engine that I'd love to get rid of, but the shipping would be a pain from here to there.

Sweet 2-tone. After falling in love with the AW11 I've had a hankering to try one of those out.

As if I haven't had to fight enough rust already . . .
