Go easy on me!! was created by Guido
Hello everyone - I'm new to the club and would like to confess my sins.....
I bought the Practical Classics black 1500 - on a whim!!
Obviously I am now close personal friends with our local AA man and have his number on speed dial :lol:
BUT I have to stick up for my exxy called Guido.
He's been treated to a full service, new cam belt, starter motor, speedo cable and a good old polish.
And he's running great. No signs whatsoever of the reported misfire.
Yes he lacks service history apart from a pile of MOT's but I guess you get what you pay for.
He was also registered overseas for part of his life so that might explain the lack of rust.
I look forward to being part of the club and enjoying the ups and downs of X1/9 ownership!!
Cheers,
Terry.

Looks great Terry.
I just think it got the normal bad Italian car press from that guy at practical classics who bought it without thinking first. What did he expect, it's a 25 year old car with very little known history.
Glad to see you've already got it sorted without much outlay. Enjoy, they are great fun
