1976 Fiat X1/9 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A sturdy lightweight car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mainly only the head gasket at 82000 km.
Carburetor gasket just after I got it.
General comments?
Great little car, the 1.3 is lacking a bit, most of the time it starts first time and flies when at temperature.
Could do with a 5 speed.
