I know this is a totally subjective matter and there will be pros and cons to both sides. However, I would like some feedback if you don't mind a few seconds of your time.
All things being equal, would you purchase a '74-'78 X1/9 with the 1300 engine or a '79-'80 X1/9 with a 1500 motor? If anyone would like to elaborate in why they feel one way or the other, that is also appreciated.
Xs after '80 have been left off as I am not interested in an FI car.
Here is why I ask.... I'm am rebuilding my '78 motor, but a '79 might have just fallen in my lap for a good price. Do I sink money into the '78 or get it running well, move on and sink money into the '79.
Of course, I'm trying to convince my wife to let me keep both One can never have too many Xs!!
Thanks...
