X1/9 wanted

I'm looking for a well preserved and mechanically sorted 1500. I'm fairly open-minded on colour, and may even be persuaded by a well-implemented engine conversion. Long MOT is a must.

Not sure if PMs are the best method of contact, but if not, please call 01394 387924

Thanks to Tiff for encouraging me to look into X1/9s again

is your heart set on a 1500.

I have a well sorted 1300 coming up for sale in a month or 2.

Hi GPW - could make an exception if it's your Lido... Let me know!

No not the Lido but the Orange one. If you have the latest club mag its the one on the front and rear cover

Cheers

The one in the snow? (That's the magazine I just received). Must be the light or the printing. It looks red rather than orange!

It does look fantastic. Shows off the X's lines, especially with the roof off.

Yup its Orange . Took it out in the snow as a favour for Mark for the Mag. Not worried as there was no salt on any of the roads near me

Not the best car for snowy conditions but it was great fun, :lol:

GPW I like the wheels on the orange 1300. The look like minilites or similar. What's the make and size and are they still available to buy somewhere ?

Hi Gask

They are genuine Minilite 6x13 with 185/60/13 tyres made for the X1/9. As to where you can get them now I dont know.

Sorry

Guy

At least they list them for the X1/9 in Applications!
I could have sworn that they were in Taunton, just down the road from me, as I always fancied them on my Spitfire, but never got round to it.
