Inspired by the Autobianchi Runabout concept car, the X1/ 9 was introduced in 1972 as a replacement for Fiat's 850 Spider. Penned by Gandini, the monocoque bodies were initially produced by Bertone and then transported to Fiat's Lingotto factory for final assembly. However in 1982, shortly after the mid-mounted four-cylinder powerplant had been increased in capacity from 1290cc to 1498cc, Bertone assumed responsibility for all aspects of the model's manufacture and these later cars were appropriately badged 'Bertone X1/ 9'. Production continued until 1989, by which time a total of 160, 000 examples had been built - 140, 500 by Fiat and 19, 500 by Bertone. The model featured a handy Targa top and the Bertone versions included revised footwells for enhanced legroom.
