I thought it might be a good idea to surprise my dad before he sells his X1/9 and try to get it on the Car of the Month section before it finds a new owner.

Its specs are:

• T reg – 1979, yellow with a faran eliminator body kit and rear tail wing
• New vented and dimpled front fiat uno turbo brake conversion with goodrich braded brake lines all round
• Rear tarox discs with fiat 132 uprated calipers
• Uprated suspension all round
• Compomotive 3 piece split rims all round with 225/50/15
• rear tyres and 195/50/15 front tyres
• Huntsman bucket seats

Engine: 2.0 litre lancia twin cam 8 valve engine and gearbox conversion... with:

• high compression pistons
• ported and polished head
• 40/80 cams
• variable cam sprockets
• twin 40 dcnf carburettors
• k&n air filters
• remote oil cooler and filter

He has put many months of work into this car and has had it for such a long time, its really going to be missed especially the performance and noise that it makes.
