if i ever saw one for sale near me in good condition i'd probably buy it. this one has been sitting for at least a year without moving i think, i drive by it occasionally and it's always in the same spot at any given hour, so i think its a little unfair to say that this is the standard for all of them

I've never seen a nice one, and I remember when the were sold as new cars in a showroom. They came with a vanity plate from the dealer...

FIAT = Fix It Again Tony. Even my italian colleagues in Italy recommend buying something other than FIAT cars if you can.

at first glance i thought it was a Porsche 914, but it's definitively a x1/9 survivor.

idk if you can really say survivor, probably should be "survivor"

I wanted one of those when I was a kid, but I literally could not fit the driver's seat with the top down.
There was a similar Ferrari concept car also by Bertone.
