Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Any thoughts on Fiat X/19?

[Rick Meisch (meisch]

If you need parts you can always scrounge them off a gt4.  ;)

A couple of friends of mine had one in high school.  Two different 
years, I can't remember which, but front bumpers were different.  They 
were not quick, but still pretty fun to drive when they were running.  
They needed consistent maintenance along the lines of a British sports 
car.  I was over 6 ft, but very skinny in high school and I fit 
okay...about the same as a 308GTS.  If you are thinking Fiat, I would 
look at the Spyder.  Rumors are they are a better built car.  That rumor 
came from one of my HS buddies that had the earlier X1/9.  But, then 
again, that was the word of a high schooler.

Cheers,
Rick
