More about the Bertone-Fiat X1/9: The X1/9 is a two-seater mid-engine sports car designed by Bertone and manufactured by Fiat from 1972-1982 and subsequently by Bertone from 1982-1989. With a transverse engine and gearbox in mid mounted rear drive configuration, the X1/9 was noted for it's excellent handling, lightweight removable hardtop and front and rear storage compartments. The X1/9 succeeded a 1969 show concept car called the Autobianchi A112 Runabout, with styling by Bertone under chief designer Marcello Gandini. Designed around the all new SOHC engine and transmission from the front wheel drive Fiat 128, the X1/9 relocated the transverse drivetrain and suspension assembly from the front of the 128 to the rear of the passenger cabin, directly in front of the rear axle, giving a mid-engined layout. Once developed for production, the two-seater featured sharp edge styling with a wedge shape and pop-up headlights. The X1/9 underwent three generations in the USA: 1974 cars, 1975-78 cars and 1979-87 cars. This particular 1987 car has accumulated only 7500 miles from new. It is in like new, mint condition, having been scrupulously maintained by an enthusiastic and meticulous owner. This last iteration of the X1/9 features the bigger 1500cc engine and 5 speed transmissions making it a pleasure to drive in modern traffic. Creature comforts, such as power windows, A/C and a high-end stereo system make it a surprisingly luxurious touring vehicle as well as as an unbeatable sports car on the back roads. Only a Mini or Caterham 7 can compare when it comes to handling. Due to Fiat leaving the USA, this car remained in storage for twenty years with 49 other X1/9sOn Mar-29-11 at 11:42:36 PDT, seller added the following information: The wheels noted are not 'Titanium' of course...sorry for that copy and paste from a previous document. I looked the reciept up and they are Cromodora CD 30 Abarth wheels purchased from C. Obert & Co in Santa Cruz Ca. Thanks to the viewer that found that error Another note...I have had a comment that the car is an 1986 which is the build date but all of the Title information that has been with the car has always stated 1987
