Our Take:
- Uncommon Mid-Engine Design: The Fiat X1/9, introduced in 1972, was one of the few cars of its era to feature a mid-engine layout, similar to more exotic sports cars like the Ferrari 308. This design offers balanced handling and a unique driving experience, especially for those who love tackling tight corners and twisty roads.
- Fuel Injection Rarity: By 1981, the X1/9 had adopted fuel injection, addressing many of the carburetor-related reliability issues of earlier models. This makes the 1981 version a bit more dependable, mechanical quirks notwithstanding, while still retaining that classic Italian charm.
- Low Mileage Marvel: With only 27,910 miles on the clock, this X1/9 is a rare find indeed. Many of these cars were driven enthusiastically, often leading to higher mileage models; finding a low-mileage example is like striking gold for a classic car enthusiast.
- Targa Top Delight: The X1/9's removable targa top combined with its compact size makes it a delightful open-air cruiser. This feature invites you to embrace the sensation of open-roof driving, transforming even mundane journeys into spirited drives reminiscent of a sun-soaked day along the Amalfi Coast.
