Mine is the one shown as first registered in 2014.
www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/fiat_x1_9#!newreg

It is a UK car originally owned new by my mother who later took it to Spain where it was on Malaga plates until 1997.
She sold it to an Irish couple who then sold it to former club member Mick Sharkey in Northern Ireland from whom I bought it in 2014.

Airlingus flight to Belfast first thing 2nd April, then onto the Belfast - Liverpool ferry that night after a day driving round the area and seeing the Titanic Experience with Mick.

Arrived home about midday 3rd April to tell my wife I had bought it.

It then took until about June for the DVLA to send me a new V5C showing me as having bought the car from my mother from an address she had sold in 1985 and almost 15 years after she had died.

So if you believe the DVLA, I have a car which has always been in the same family and with one previous owner.

This is the one i bought the other day, not horrendous by any means, just needs a couple of bits on the bodywork to be done before spraying but mostly it is getting the mechanicals and running gear fixed up

That looks well saveable. Have you had the carpet up yet?

Well those are the bits of bodywork that might need looking at, i have ran a magnet over them and there is metal there, also i had the side scoops out and all is well inside with good metal inside but apart from that the rest of the car is solid. Carpet has been up and new floor plans have been put in the past, windscreen surround solid, front valences and spoiler are perfect. Got donor doors on it which are good because the originals that came with the car are not the best. Door cards and interior just need a damn good clean.

Looks like some of the previous repairs are a mess. What's your plans with this one?

Can you a least paint the brown bits on the inside black please?. Beats me what the designers were on back in the day, some say Magic Mushrooms?

Hello Miles,

I used freely available web sites such as Google Images, flickr, the Club’s web site and others to look for photographs and information. I then checked the registration numbers I found on the DVLA’s data base. Since my first post I’ve found another Lido that’s taxed and tested. I’ve also extended my search to look for other 1300’s. So far I’ve found details of forty three cars (including Lido’s). I suspect there are entries for cars that no longer exist or perhaps for those that were stored prior to SORN.

Regards

Keith

Thanks Keith, Interesting. I ask as I appear to have a Lido interior in my car. Black seats though. Very strange.
