Pick her up tomorrow

Is that a Dansk exhaust on her as well?

Very Tidy

I loved both my X19's

Sadly not Chris ... just a bit of trim ... doesn't mean it won't be in the future!

From French clutter to Italian rust bucket. Steve you are really going downwards in my estimations (not that its worth that much, my estimations i mean not your new car)!

Does indeed look clean and tidy

Looks very nice! I've always liked those.

You going to bring her to Himley Steve?

She's not up to that Andy .... has averaged 1,500 miles per year for the last 17 years with some of those only a few hundred. Bit of a safe shakedown needed not too far from home for a bit I reckon!

Cluck cluck cluck

Maybe ... but as I have just spent the last two hours trying to work out why she wouldn't start only to find the braided fuel lines have more holes than a swiss cheese!!!

Know the feeling of that one!!

Just a low volume pump on these as it has a carb so no great gush of fuel to give the game away .... just a quiet seep!

You would of thought it would have been pick up on the new mot

Ha ha ... the blue 924 had three different sized tyres on it and that had an MOT too! I've noticed they only pay attention to your own cars and never ones you have just bought

Always had a soft spot for the X1/9, looks in cracking nick though Steve despite what will no doubt be a few teething problems with such low milage every year, but if its been garage then at least it won't have had much exposure to the elements which on a 70's Italian made car is a VERY good thing

The not starting is probibly the dreadfull Auto choke!

I suggest you take it off and add a manual one ASAP.....that's what I did with mine
