Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Fiat X1/9 was designed by Italian design house Bertone, under the penmanship of chief designer Marcello Gandini. The result was a timeless wedge shape with a long flat bonnet, pop-up headlights, and a Targa roof panel. Our featured car is finished in a shade of gold that perfectly complements the ’70s design. It sits on 13-inch pressed steel wheels with period-correct Fiat badges on the centers. Move inside, and you’re presented with a well-preserved interior featuring a two-tone ivory and brown color scheme. There’s a small-rimmed four-spoke steering wheel and a manual gear selector placed in close proximity to each other, ensuring this driver’s car offers a rewarding experience behind the wheel. Behind the steering wheel, you’ll find Veglia gauges, including a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7,000 rpm redline, and an additional meter to monitor fuel level, battery amperage, and water temperature. The rest of the interior appears to be in remarkable condition for a car of this age. It features an FM radio and controls for the HVAC.
Under the mid-mounted engine cover lies an inline four-cylinder engine of 1,290cc. For the U.S. market, cars had to comply with emissions standards, meaning these X1/9s offered slightly less power than their European-delivered counterparts. Nevertheless, the 1978 Fiat X1/9 was rated as having 61 hp. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. The owner reports that this car has been kept up to date on its servicing, while an aftermarket electronic fuel pump and new master cylinder have been installed.
