These are images of the great X1/9 tour to Italy in 1997. Top photo shows the cars outside the main Bertone entrance.
You can work who's standing where but this is a list of those who were there, starting with Gerd at the left
Gerd, Jim (America), Neil Yardley, Jan, Olly, Hugh, Damon, Elizabetta (Bertone), Gian Beppe Pannico (Bertone), Gomer, Mike T, Mark & Angela Cornford, Gerd's ex gf, Bones, Claire, Kay & Jason, Frosty and myself, Ewen standing in the middle at the back
The third photo shows us at the top of Stelvio, pre toll and Topgear
The fourth and last photo shows us outside Maserati in Modena before the tour of the factory by Ermano Cozza

Damon, you should plan to incorporate an Italian X1/9 club event with a trip to Italy. I used to drive down to Friuli near Venice with a small group every year but have also been to events held in Reggio Emilia and Torino. It's great to meet the Italians and of course taking the car home to where it was built is a real buzz.
Hope that gives you some ideas.

Ewen, do you know where I can find a bit more info about the Italian X1/9 hillclimb/ slalom cars? There seems to be quite a few videos on the net. Some of them look amazing and would love to find out a bit more about the modifications that have been done to them.

Hi Damon,
unfortunately I don't know much about the Italian race car circuit. Olly Vayle was always wanting to hook up with a particular slalom event. I'll have a word with him and get back to you.
