For your collection of FIAT X1/9 books

Talk about a long shot. Somebody must need this, but I don't media-socialize anywhere else. Free, of course, but you pay shipping.

Yes, I had one (and was very pleased). No, I never had Tony work on it.

This brings back memories - I had a yellow 1974 with the small bumpers - bought new. That was a fun car to drive - but QC left a lot to be desired. I don’t need the book but thanks for posting.

Never owned one, no current plans to get one, but I always thought they were cool. Plus I like reading car books. My gym teacher in high school had one, in the UK, so it didn't have the Federal bumpers.

If nobody else steps forward that has a legitimate interest in it, then I'll take it. But give it a couple of weeks to see if someone else wants it.

Books should be able to go media mail, if the Post Office still offers it. It's one of the good things they do.

I loved driving those cars, sold them in the early ‘80s and always drove one as my personal car.

The test drive always started with me driving, half of the time sideways, most of the time at red-line, that was a car you could wear and put it anywhere in the turns that you wanted, so SO much fun.

I sold a lot of them, people were amazed at what they could do.

Loved that car. 1978 blue. Targa roof. Mid engine. Beautifully balanced. Handled like a dream. A bitch, however, to work on if your hands were larger than a six-year-old’s.

I had 2 service manuals I was able to give to someone for the cost of shipping.

I had a set of 1981 Fiat 2000 Spider Turbo factory service manuals and parts manuals (NOS), wonder if I can still find them. I believe I had the brochure also. Probably weren’t many sets of those that survived.
