Fiat X19
With only 200 X19’s showing as taxed today on UK roads, this forgotten gem of a car is as exclusive as a Ferrari F40.
Not only is our car such a rarely seen vehicle, but it is also a wonderful example that is worthy of its place in our showroom. It won’t earn us a great deal, but when they come along this good, and we all love it, then it’s a great car to have.
I recently drove this car, and once I mastered the tiny pedals with my size 11’s, the rest of the car was an absolute hoot. Push the accelerator down and it picks up nicely, push it to the floor and WOW… it’s like a hot hatch, but sat on the floor.
It has benefitted from a conscientious previous owner who has tastefully replaced all those little annoying bits that these cars were prone for. The gearbox has received much attention, and whilst I drove it was spot on, so nothing to worry about there. The ignition system is currently electronic, but our technicians are considering returning to OEM – such is the originality of this car.
This car is a great survivor. It was brightened up with a repaint in 2018, and 7 years on, the car is still bright. It has passed all the previous MOTs without a single ‘fail’ and comes with much paperwork for items bought including service items and parts replaced but the service book is not present.
This is a very enjoyable and useable classic that looks great, is relatively low cost to maintain with good parts availability and best of all pop-up headlights!
This car will come with a 3 months Autoguard national warranty, which can be increased should you choose.
