MWK552V FIAT X1/9 from THE GRAND
TOUR
Richard Hammond's X1/9 from THE GRAND
TOUR; included in the Grand Tour computer game; unique opportunity to own the
most famous X1/9 in existence
We could rattle on about the stunning
white leather interior, lurid purple paintwork or the smart alloy wheels but
that would kinda be missing the point....
This is the actual car that
starred on The Grand Tour's trip through Scotland driven by Richard Hammond and
accompanied by Clarkson in his GTV and James May in his Gamma.....
If you
don't believe us, check out the Youtube clip - here is your chance to relive the
trip along the A345 in the same car.
A word of warning - there is a bit
of work to do....the engine runs and it drives and stops - but it obviously has
had a life and the engine smokes like a good-un. The gears all work though and
the body, originaly Italian red looks pretty sound in most places - the purple
paintwork less so.....
It had an MOT which expired in 2018, which showed
no advisories and it has covered only a few miles since so how much work can it
really need??
That is missing the point though. If you are looking for an
X1/9 and are prepared to take on a project - then surely this is the only one to
do.
It even features in The Grand Tour computer game....so while the car
waits in the paint shop, you can still enjoy driving it.
Christened by
Hammond 'the baby Ferrari', it even has his name on the key tag. There is no
doubt that this is the real deal....
