AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Fiat X1/9 Bertone boasts long-term ownership and a recent MOT.

Condition

The car is described as being in good condition overall, with a newly upholstered interior that looks classy. The bodywork is straight and presents well for its age, although there are a few marks and scratches. Mechanically, the engine starts and runs well, and several new parts have been fitted. However, there are no invoices for this work, and the MOT has one advisory for a worn tyre.
