it was the basis for a fairly popular race car during its run=very highly 'styled' angles; and not unlike other cars of the era/location

perhaps seeing the back will help... hope he renewed his registration,
they're expired now

I don't know about the X1/9s that were brought to the States, but from a European point of view that X1/9 is far from standard! Horrible bodykit and wheels IMO. I hope they weren't sold like that on your side of the pond...

Which is a pity - because the X1\9 in all stock forms for the entire world was a dog slow pathetic unreliable hunk of crap... and if it wasn't for the aftermarket and racing series providing some decent substitutes and upgrades it would have died a deserved death a lot earlier.

In stock form, you had to be a unique sucker for punishment to volunteer to own one of them

I cringe to think of the couple of mates that bought those after highschool and were saddled with a car that sucked.. plain and simple.

The ones who persevered upgraded the running gear and engine and eventually ended up wth a half-decent car.



Spend anytime around some X1\9 fanatics you learn to recognise the car from modded source as the blokes in the know seldom leave the cars stock - they suck that badly hehe
