Ciao amici,
Probably you cannot believe this but last week a Dutch clubmember recieved her new restored Fiat X 1/9 1300 Serie Speciale.
Afters 2 years of work and more than 2000 hours the X 1/9 is finished some days ago. But there is a story on it. About 25 years ago the owner (a lady) bought this car and sold it many years later. Then she and her husband wanted this same X 1/9 back and found it in the Netherlands in a very bad condition.
Gert van Kooten from ASA (our great X 1/9 specialist in the Netherlands) made this X 1/9 better than new. Total costs about Euro 40.000 which is US Dollar 55.000. But with new interior, leather door panels, leather dashboard, new carpet etc. etc.
As the lady owner says: this car has more value for me than a Ferrari, it is my baby and I will never sell her again
saluti,
Henk Martens
