Dear X19 enthusiasts.
Would any of you like to buy an original pair of Bertone bags, the beige and tan bags designed and made for the X19's small boot?
In the late 1970s/early 1980s I was the very happy owner of two X19s, first a gold, then a silver. Very reluctantly I eventually moved onto a car with four seats - more practical but so much less fun. As I was so sorry to leave behind my X19 days I kept the two stylish bags which had been supplied with one of the cars (the first I think but not quite sure now). For years they have sat unused in a spare room but now I think it's high time they were reunited with an X19 and so I'd like to sell them.
They are in fairly good condition. All the zips work and are undamaged, the handles are very secure and in perfect condition and the studs underneath are all fixed and firm. On the side of each is a stitched on panel saying X19.
The main body of the bag is a kind of woven thick material in a beige colour; the handles and square ends are in tan leather-look material (NB it isn't leather but a manmade material).
Downsides?
A little bit of stitching ( about two to three inches) has come lose at the top of one bag where the zip meets the side. It would be easy enough to mend but I have thought it better to leave them in their original condition.
The beige material could do with a clean. That should be easy enough with the right cleaning agent but again I preferred to keep them in their original condition.
The one thing which is not correctible is some wear on the bottom edges of the square ends. This is simply the result of the bags having had a lovely time visiting Italy with their X19!
If you would like to get in touch with me I presume you can message me on this forum - apologies that I'm new to it so unsure how it works. Or you are welcome to email me on christighe33@gmail.com and I can email back some photos of them.
I look forward to hearing from you if the bags are of interest.

Hi Chris,
It might be an idea to post some pictures of the bags on here.

Cheers
