A couple of questions. My X is titled (here in SC) as an '86 model...BUT, it was built in July of 1985. What gives? It does not have the little brake light above your head that I thought all cars in the US had to have from '86 on...could it have just sat that long on the lot? Should I trace the VIN or does it really matter all that much?

Second question...any lead on where I might find a plastic hubcap for this car? The left rear cap clips were broken off and PO GLUED the cap back on the wheel - quite a mess! I have the cap, but I am in the process of trying to clean the glue off and come with a monting solution...I understand the hubcaps are no longer in production.

BTW, it is the six-sided deal that says "Bertone"on it...

Thanks -

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hi Scott,

A question asked by a guy in South Carolina, answered by some French nut in Canada, via a Seattle web site! Isn't that nice! And it's all free!

About the date of manufacture, yes it is commun to have a build date the year before the year model. My 1980 X1/9 was built in 1979.

If you want to be sure, I got an idea about which serial number start which year (at least in North America, the system is not working the same in European countries).

Don't bother about the third brake light. If you got the courtesy light instead, it is probably original, meaning the 3rd brake light was added later in the production run. I know many people who had removed the light because it was blocking the mirror rear view.

For you hub clib, I think you're going to have to find another use cap or to build a custom clip.

BTW, if you think it's cold in South Carolina, you should visit us in Canada. I already got snow on the ground and it is freezing all nights.

Good luck!

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->You know that is true about the great way the internet works, and the great job that these folks in Seattle are doing! Thanks for the info. on the car. BTW, snow is VERY rare to us here, when I say cold I mean 28 degrees at night...I have a feeling you are seeing a lot colder air than that!
I bet you guys have some great skiing though!
My girlfriend went to Canada back in August and LOVED it , possibly a honeymoon desintation?!?!?!?

thanks again!
