1981 Fiat X1/9 1.5 FI from North America
Summary:
Refined Italian classic/open air love affair
Faults:
Replaced original clutch at 88K.
Replaced heater valve.
General Comments:
Being that it is a 25+ year old car, it is considered a classic and has "Collector" plates on it.
Contrary to popular belief, this little gem of a sportscar is more reliable than today's more high-tech engineering. I've owned several X1/9's, but this one is my fave!
It is completely restored to "better than new" condition, and resides in British Columbia, Canada.
I use it on long road trips over high mountain passes and winding roads. This is a no no-nonsense 'point and drive' car. I LOVE IT!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a 80X, I love it, motor loves 6-7,000 RPM all day at autocross, beats out lots of pricey cars, Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
