Hmmm..sounds like the Bertone X1/9 model for the European market was just as crappy as the ones they used to sell in the US...

A buddy of mine used to have one of these. It was a neat looking little car, but wow, talk about a gutless piece! His timing belt broke, and he had to tow it home with his Ford Pinto--getting towed by a Pinto is when you know that you've hit rock bottom.
