1978 Fiat X1/9 (Orange Series 1)

History

This is a Fiat X1/9 series 1 (Series Special) and is completely original and unrestored. It’s the best factory original Fiat X1/9 in Australia and quite possibly the world.

There is now only 82 series 1 still registered on our roads and diminishing, as they were prone to rust. The car is a mid-engine car with an exclusive heritage. It’s truly the car everyone forgot but know one forgets once you drive it.

If you remember this car and you always wanted one then now is the time. You can still pick them up reasonably cheap but good ones can be very hard to find now. There is a great community of owners on Facebook and more information can be found on www.x19.com.au.

Modifications

Absolutely none, even the radio is from 1978.
