This car is not a Fiat X1/9, it is a Bertone X1/9. Fiat stopped producing the X1/9 in 1982 and production was subsequently taken over by Gruppo Bertone, the company that originally designed the car for Fiat. Production by Bertone continued until 1989 with the final cars being sold in 1990.
It's one of only 3 mid engine rwd production cars under 1 tonne, type all monocoque construction Fiat X1/9 steel Toyota MR2 MK1 steel, Lotus Elise MK1 aluminium. Polini Racing Italy build X1/9's with 200bhp naturally aspirated bike engines eg R1 Yamaha 16V 1398cc, kerb weight without carbon body panels is 580kg. Fifty thousand euros plus donor car, donor car needs to be straight, no rust. Good luck finding one of those at any reasonable price.
@@roasthunter I'm a professional restorer and I love driving cars that have direct mechanical controls. Means cars without brake servos or power steering, hence my interest in small cheap light well balanced 4 cylinder, simple cars that are easy to maintain without special tools. The X1/9 driven by Gianluca Ticci is currently the fastest hill climb car in Europe, in the 2 litre naturally aspirated class. X1/9 is a great platform for a race car and was modified by Dallara in the late 1970's for Group 5. The original car was a bit of a shit box it definitely wasn't a Ferrari, they were described a hairdressers cars or poor man's Ferrari by some people, by others as scaled down supercars or baby Ferraris. They are built for small people that's a fact.

X1/9 were not very fast cars. Just remember " It is always more fun to drive a slow car fast then a fast car slow"!
Can’t be worth much, its going to be rotten in a few places, will need loads of wedge spent on it and isn’t worth much in good condition
