For Sale
1986 Bertone X1/9
1500cc-fuel injection-5 speed-53,000 miles
It's time to put my '86 Bertone X1/9 up for sale. I Am the car's second owner and it's been my hobby car for the last 17 years. Like the original owner I've only used it as a summertime car and it has always been garaged year round. Ziebart rustproofing was applied when the car was new.
Some of the car's highlights,
Chromadora CD-31 Daytona magnesium wheels
Alquati A-15 cam
lightened flywheel
Shortened shifter
Jet-Hot ceramic coated International Auto Parts tube header
all fuel lines replaced, injectors flow checked, and fuel injector mounting hardware powder coated
all belts (including timing belt) replaced
Vick Auto Aluminum radiator / new thermostat and all radiator and heater hoses replaced
polished stainless steel coolant tank
K&N air filter
Drilled and slotted brake rotors
all four brake calipers rebuilt and master cylinder replaced
All brake lines (including Earls brand stainless steel flex hoses) replaced using DOT-5 silicone brake fluid
Brake shields and spacers have been powder coated.
Hydraulic clutch master and slave cylinders as well as all hoses replaced.
Euro front and side marker lights with led bulbs
European headlights with halogen bulbs & “city lights” wired to turn on with the marker lights
new battery 2015
Period correct Kenwood stereo/cassette player
Also included is the original owners manual, factory service manual, Haynes repair manual, factory parts list, X1/9 owner's club UK technical handbooks, “Project X1/9” race prep guide and more.
Spares include the original set of Chromadora CD-179 “Tron” wheels, a like new set of four unmounted Sumitomo HTR 200 tires (185/60/13 for the front, 195/60/13 for the back), an additional unmounted spare Sumitomo HTR 100 185/60/13 tire (matching the front tires now on the car), the powder coated OEM air cleaner housing, OEM exhaust manifold, and well, a bunch on other stuff...
As the photos show, this is an exceptionally fine example of a late model fuel injected X1/9 but the car is not perfect. The original paint still has the door dings and scratches it had when I bought it and the synchros on first gear are a bit weak but it's a sweet driving solid car with a happy engine that I wouldn't hesitate to drive anywhere.
