Fiat X1/9 4 Speed

The interesting things about this car (besides the fact that it was the only 1300 in the collection) were:

  • 1977 Model with "Special Series" front rubber bumpers
  • Bertone badge but in smaller (Fiat) shape
  • Seats from later 5 Speed car (in blue vinyl)
  • Later style rear vision mirror (mounted through glass in quarter window) but only on driver's side
  • Cromodora CD 58 wheels but with black hubcaps

White 1500

Nothing much special about this car other than (1) my daughter insisted that her toy dog be in the photo and (2) the bird poo that they hadn't bothered to remove from the bonnet. Basically a late model (USA version) 1500. The year is specified as 1972 on the specification sheet (obviously wrong) and the power is indicated to be 85 HP (which is also the case for the other 1500 models, most of which are USA models).
