1983 FIAT X1/9 VS

This Bertone-badged version of Fiat's X1/9 was registered in September 1983 and is now showing 86,600 miles on its odometer, with its MoT valid until May 2025 although, as an historic vehicle, it no longer requires annual testing. After the vendor bought it around a year ago, it was given a new battery, improved brakes and cleaning up the electricals. Between June and September 2024 it was treated to a full service, rebuilt carburettor, new inlet manifold gasket, new timing belt, reconditioned radiator (with old one included in the sale), fuel pump, rotor arm and distributor cap.

The Fiat is reported as running and driving well with no issues, although the the vendor does note that the fuel gauge and heater aren't working, the electric windows are slow or don't work, and the digital clock displays randomly. The electric windows can be slow or don't work. When cold, the autochoke needs help with a bit of throttle to keep the revs up until warm. The pop-up headlamps operate as they should. The car was profiled by Classics World in a YouTube video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLPzOU0R9Wk 

Paperwork includes the current and some past V5Cs, invoices for 2021 and 2024 and MoTs back to 2003.
