It was called the Fiat X1/9. Used Fiat 128 components. it was built for Fiat by Bertone. Later Fiat decided to stop selling them. SO Bertone went alone selling them via Fiat dealers.

This car was silver. I remember lookng at it in 2000, it was going for 3.5 L. Alas, i did not have the money

Nope, here's the one in Delhi, spotted it recently. Apparently, the engine is busted or something, Awini can throw more light on it though.

bertone desinged the Lamborghini Countach right after designing this car. I've seen 1 in pristine condition in my country. Its a classic. Also known as Fiat X 1/9
