1987 Fiat X1/9 VS on The Market - in excellent condition For Sale by Auction

Auction is LIVE now, and finishes on 29th August at - details above

This is the current owner’s 20th Fiat X1/ 9, so it’s fair to say he is something of an enthusiast! And, not to be outdone, the chap he bought it from was similarly afflicted, having owned the car himself for ten years before selling it on.

The mileage is reasonable, it has been in the care of sympathetic owners and there has been some recent significant expenditure. So, this isn’t an under-the-arches special that’s been bodged and patched over the years until rising prices prompted a flowery listing alongside an optimistic asking price.

That complex superstructure might have endowed the X1/ 9 with the best handling this side of a Ferrari alongside unbeatable crash protection but it was, at heart, still Italian, which usually means rust, and usually lots of it.

And if the rust hasn’t killed your classic X1/ 9 then the car’s infrequent propensity for locking its front wheels under hard braking means that accident damage further decreases the chances of finding a solid one. But not with this example; there are no signs of either rust or accident damage. The owner has seen plenty of poor examples in his time to know where to look for rust, and confirms that, even when stripped down for repaint, none was found; makes this example almost unique in our experience.

The red paint had faded over the years past the point that it could be successfully revived, which prompted the current owner to splash out on a glass-out professional respray in its original colour scheme of red-over-black in late 2017. The Fiat looks splendid as a result, bolstered by the fitment of the optional extra rear spoiler – but if you prefer your X1/ 9’s bare, a spare boot lid sans spoiler is included with the vehicle…

The original alloy wheels are in very good condition, and the four new tyres still have plenty of tread.

Problem areas are limited to a two-inch section of peeling underseal and a 10p-sized patch of light surface rust on the inner edge of one of the doors…more text on our website
