Bertone x1/9 was created by jean
Hi there,
I just bought this bertone modified
x1/9 and im in need of info about it, is there any website or paper info about this particular version of the car?
Its gonna be a costly and lenghty project but we hope to be able to have it back on the road before the summer ends.

thanks Jeremy, since ive bought this car ive heard similar stories but have not been able to verify them, most of the cosmetic changes (vents at rear for oil radiator as well as 3 separate radiators at front and spoiler on engine cover) are mainly because the engine (2l turbo) was pushed to the limits, delivering over 300hp, some of the pipe are actually copper as conventional rubber pipes wud have melted, most part been made especially for this car (this was build for speed, track car/hill climbing) and obviously it needed these customisations to keep the engine as cool as possible.
Engine is now out n going to be reconditioned while i can put my time n effort on the body, will update as i find more bout it and as it progress back to life
