This is a Fiat X1/9. Made in the 80s, its the come back when Fiat almost went bust. The owner of this collectible cars were quite concerned about the paint work as it has been sitting outdoors most of the time. Being said, we were called once again to restore this mighty Fiat.

It had definitely been repainted in some point of her life. But the paint was holding up quite well.
