About the 1978 Fiat X1/9
The Fiat X1/9 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive two-seater sports car designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone. The 1978 model is part of the original 1300 Series (1972–1978), powered by a transversely-mounted 1290cc SOHC inline-four producing 75 horsepower. With its removable targa roof panel that stores in the front boot and independent suspension all round, the X1/9 offered genuine sports car handling at an accessible price. Australian-delivered 1300 Series cars were officially imported by Fiat Australia in the late 1970s. These early models are identifiable by their single-slot front bumper design and smaller rear light clusters. Today they are eligible for historic vehicle registration in most Australian states, making them a popular choice for enthusiasts who want to enjoy their classic on the road.
