The Diminutive Sports Car
FIAT & Bertone X 1/9 – our first announced celebration for 2023
A little over 50 years ago Fiat introduce a Bertone-designed mid-engined sports car. It was named the X1/9 and was the successor to the Fiat 850. The car has a wedge shape conceived by Marcello Gandini while he was at Bertone. This two-seater targa is small, affordable, and most importantly, extremely sporty. Fiat produced the model for about 10 years and then passed the baton to Bertone where the X1/9 had another 7 wonderful years until 1989.
We have a special fondness for the X1/9 due to it being one of the cars we drove in our formative driving years. Even today, a dear friend up here in the great Pacific Northwest can be seen in his pristine X1/9. A tall man who is not hesitant to shoehorn himself into the driver’s seat, his head peering above the windshield, joyfully exercising a model that was in his youth as well. Yes, the X1/9 will bring a youthful smile to one’s face.
The Fiat celebration is the first announced celebration for Concorso 2023. In store are multiple celebrations—some unexpected, some innovative, and some iconic. The drumbeat starts now.
Stay tuned to the Concorso social media and these emails for additional announcements in the coming weeks. 2023 is going to be a LOT of fun!
