The Grand Tour Series 3 will feature a Cheap Car Challenge

Spoiler alert! Jeremy Clarkson has given us all a glimpse behind-the-scenes of The Grand Tour Series 3 – and there’s good news! It looks as though the Cheap Car Challenge has returned!

In a short video posted to DriveTribe , Clarkson asked fans which car they thought will break down first – his Alfa Romeo GTV6, James May’s Lancia Gamma Coupe, or Richard Hammond’s Fiat X1/9. Three old cars from arguably three of the world’s least reliable manufacturers. That’s a tough one…

After a lack of proper Cheap Car Challenges in The Grand Tour Series 1 & 2 , this is great news for fans. Most of us have missed this particular style of episode, so it is good to see the trio harking back to their Top Gear days.

The Grand Tour Series 3 is likely to hit screens around the end of 2018, but we can expect one special episode of Series 2 to air sometime mid-year.

I am going with the fiat x – 19…. I am astounded that there is a working example…among many other things the heater hoses were crap. my buddies broke and instantly filled his car with a sort of misty , steamy water /antifreeze atmosphere…of some sort… it did handle quite well for a while.

Great to see the used car challenge back to life.And it seems that Jezza’s Alfa is the one breaks down first

50 Years Young: The Striking Fiat X1/9 Bertone

2022 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the fiat x1/9, which was presented in november of 1972 in sicily, on the same roads of the legendary targa florio. here's its story....

Contrary to most Fiat models, the X1/9 proved much more popular abroad than it ever was in its native country, with the USA becoming the model's largest market as soon as exports there started in 1974. Here's the story of the X1/9, the striking mid-engined sports car that Fiat nearly didn't make.

One Man's Vision

The X1/9 would have never happened without the vision and determination of legendary coachbuilder Nuccio Bertone.

Bertone built 850 Spider bodies for Fiat by the thousands, but following the presentation of the modern front-wheel-drive 128 in 1969, he could see the writing on the wall for those older rear-engined models, leading him to start work on a new sports car utilizing the 128's running gear.

However, Bertone's vision for a 128-based sports car was radically different from Fiat's, as he wanted to place the 128's engine and transmission behind the passenger compartment, which made for better weight distribution and a much slender front-end design.

Bertone showcased his vision at the Turin motor show in late 1969 with the Runabout concept car. Bertone's designer, Marcello Gandini, took inspiration from outside the motoring world, with its pointed shape, generous rollbar hosting the headlamps, and striking colorway coming from period speedboat designs.

Despite its space-age appearance, the Runabout was fully functional, equipped with Fiat 128 engine and transmission mounted amidships. The Autobianchi badging and period claims to have used A112 running gear were nothing more than a cunning ploy from Bertone to avoid ruffling too many feathers at Fiat's Mirafiori HQ.

Corporate Resistance

Apparently, Fiat's boffins did not share Nuccio Bertone's enthusiasm and much less his insistence to make what they called a "little Miura," an exotic and impractical flight of fancy unworthy of the company's time due to its limited sales potential.

Thankfully for Bertone and hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts, Fiat's president Gianni Agnelli saw the merit of the X1/9 project, and the car was, somewhat begrudgingly, made into a production reality.

What's in a name?

Fiat's engineering supremo Dante Giacosa introduced the practice of using "X1," followed by a progressive number, in the late 60s. Yet, the X1/9 is the only time one such project code became a commercial name, almost as if Fiat couldn't be bothered to come up with something better.

Clever design

Thankfully, much more care went into the car's design: the X1/9's body was designed from the outset to pass the 30 Mph frontal crash test required by American safety legislation and was brilliantly packaged. The mid-engined configuration also gave the X1/9 two separate luggage compartments, with the front one serving as storage for the roof panel when detached.

With the fuel tank and spare wheel located between the engine and passenger compartments, most of the X1/9's weight was concentrated around its center of gravity, giving it excellent handling characteristics.

As previously mentioned, the Fiat X1/9 was equipped with the same 1.3 liters single overhead cam inline-four cylinders engine and four-speed gearbox from the Fiat 128 Coupé, with a few minor changes due to the different location.

The engine produced 75HP at 6000Rpm and, due to the X1/9's relatively low weight and good aerodynamics, performance was adequate for the period: the X1/9 accelerated from naught to 100 Km/h in around 12 seconds and had a top speed of nearly 170 Km/h.

Overseas success

Bertone produced the X1/9 bodies in its own facility in Grugliasco, near Turin. They were then transported to the Fiat Lingotto, the legendary factory with a rooftop test track, for the engine and running gear to be installed.

Production of the US-spec X1/9 started in 1974, and by 1975, the overwhelming majority of production would be sent across the Atlantic. In fact, the X1/9 in Italy remained a slow seller throughout its life due to unfavorable socio-economic conditions and Fiat's apparent disinterest in pushing X1/9 sales.

Unfortunately, the X1/9s destined for American customers saw their already unexceptional performance further diminished: the beefier bumpers added 25 Kg of weight while the 1.3 liters engine lost about 10HP due to the lowered compression ratio.

The X1/9 Dallara

October 1975 saw the launch at the Paris motor show of the Dallara Bertone Icsunonove, a full-blown race car designed by legendary engineer Gianpaolo Dallara according to Group 5 regulations.

Thanks to extensive use of aluminum componentry and fiberglass body panels, the Dallara X1/9 weighed about 200 Kg less than the roadgoing version. At the same time, only the cylinder block remained from the original 1.3 liters engine, which now produced 190HP at a heady 9700Rpm.

It's unclear how many genuine Dallara X1/9s were made, with some estimates putting the number at less than 20 examples, although many more replicas exist.

Development of the range

1975 also saw the introduction of the "Corsa" appearance package, which included decals, wheel arch extensions, and a decklid spoiler but no mechanical upgrades.

1976 brought the X1/9 "Serie Speciale," with a slightly larger front spoiler, fog lights, adhesive decals on the side, and a partly redesigned interior. But more importantly, Fiat finally began producing right-hand-drive cars for the UK, which soon became the model's second largest market.

By 1978 total X1/9 production passed the 100.000 units mark, and, in October of the same year, the significantly updated "X1/9 Five Speed" was presented at the Birmingham motor show. Under a taller engine cover sat the 1.5 liters engine and five-speed gearbox from the Fiat Ritmo 75, producing 85HP in this application thanks to a double-choke carburetor and different camshaft profile.

The thick, redesigned bumpers compliant with US law became standard on the European versions as well, together with the wider front spoiler, while the interior got an all-new dashboard.

Following its withdrawal from the US market and the closure of the Lingotto factory in 1982, Fiat ceased production of the X1/9. However, Nuccio Bertone wasn't ready to see his baby sports car die and took over the complete production process, marketing the car under the Bertone badge.

From 1982, the cars destined for the United States were fitted with a new electronic fuel injection system, which brought performance somewhat closer to the European-spec cars. Meanwhile, the range was enriched by the "IN" and "VS" versions, with two-tone bodywork and better-appointed interiors.

However, this was not enough to maintain sales, especially after the Toyota MR2's presentation in 1984. Bertone ultimately pulled the plug on the X1/9 in 1988, having produced 156.459 units since 1972.

Fiat X1/9 (1977-1989) – Price tracker

Fiat X1/9 price rises have been slow, but are picking up

Every week, we’re tracking the values of the most popular classic cars on the UK market. Thanks to our friends at Classic Car Weekly , we can focus on one car and compare its values from 2005 to today – and then anticipate where they will be in 2025. This week, we take a look at the brilliant little Fiat X1/9 – Italy’s take on the affordable sports car of the 1970s. Classic Car Weekly’s editor David Simister tells the market story of this funster’s future growth.

FIAT X1/9 – THE CURRENT SITUATION

Fans of Turin’s baby sports car might have seen an example that Richard Hammond drove on The Grand Tour being hammered away for £2500 – but prices for examples in better nick are currently pulling in rather more than that. Despite that, it still seems too cheap for a car that has Ferrari Dino-style looks, offers open-top advantages without the downsides thanks to its targa top, and knife-edge handling.

Currently, you’d be looking at anything between £4000 and £6000 for a nice one in solid condition – and we’ve seen minters going for upwards of £10,000. In a world of £100,000 Sierra RS Cosworths, it still seems like very little money for so much Italian brio. Tellingly, what Hammond’s example made is closer to what decent examples were selling for 10-15 years ago.

FIAT X1/9 VALUES – ACCELERATING NICELY

Aside from its recent starring appearance on The Grand Tour the Fiat X1/9’s profile remains confusingly low. Given the world’s love affair with 1970s cars, and its pocket supercar looks, the mid-engined sports car looks set for decent growth rather later in life than some of its contemporaries.

FIAT X1/9 PRICE TRACKER

Time was when the X1/9 was in the territory that tattier MX-5s and MR2s in are now, and could be snapped up for under a grand, but as the ropey ones have disappeared and the better ones total up to an estimated 291 UK survivors, prices have gradually crept up. We reckon they could still climb a little higher in value, but it’s unlikely that anything but the best examples will go much beyond £10k any time soon. David Simister

Below are the typical prices for a Condition 2 example between 2005-2025.

2025 £6000 (anticipated)

Condition 2 X1/9s are predicted to be worth £6000 in 2025

The Grand Tour Episode 11: Here’s What You Need To Know

As promised at the end of Episode 10, the hosts will not be allowed to continue on with a sunny holiday, but are instead heading to a rainy and dark northern France, which looks very dreary indeed.

Meanwhile, the tent has been pitched right alongside Loch Ness in Scotland.

That's a wrap. Thank you Scotland. #thegrandtour pic.twitter.com/nZYJFC0UBl — The Grand Tour (@thegrandtour) December 3, 2016

The premise of this week’s episode seems to harken back to the Top Gear road tests of old. In those episodes, as in this one, the trio were sent on a mission in three older cars of their  choosing. More often than not, the whole purpose was to prove a producer wrong, or accomplish a challenge of some sort. If Jeremy is to be believed though, the point of this exercise was solely to make the trio miserable.

The only difference so far seems to be that rather than being provided a show-funded allowance to buy the cars, the boys had to pony up their own dough. Is this a clue to the actual point of the episode? Since it has been pointed out time and again that Amazon has an amazing budget, it would seem that this was deliberate. Ordinarily, we’d guess the challenge was to choose the most reliable old Italian luxury car (they did something similar back in Series 7, Episode 4), but that can’t be true, as they’ve all chosen Maserati. So instead, perhaps they were challenged to find the best used Maserati they could? Time will tell.

So, what could possibly go wrong? An awful lot, actually. Historically, on old Top Gear, and as we’ve seen from more recent calamities on The Grand Tour , something always goes wrong. Older Italian cars are not known for their reliability, and Maserati is possibly the least reliable of them all, so we should be ready for quite a few breakdowns. As we saw, there will be a speed test on a track, so cue Jeremy Clarkson driving much too fast, spinning off wildly, and causing serious damage to his car.

Sticking with the theme of Italian cars, it’s Hammond’s turn at the Eboladrome this week. He will be road testing the new Fiat Abarth 124 Spider .  The new Fiat was designed in conjunction with Mazda, built on the same platform as the MX-5 Miata, and starts at just under $30,000 (in the same ballpark as the MX-5). It remains to be seen just how different Fiat has made its take on the classic roadster concept. As Richard had nothing but praise for the Mazda when he drove it earlier this season in Morocco, we can expect many comparisons, and perhaps some typical “valuable consumer advice”.

That just leaves poor Mr. May and his broken arm. There were no horses to be seen in the preview, so more than likely his nemesis from the Patagonia special isn’t the culprit. So what went wrong? Something very “James May.” When asked at the Edinburgh International TV Festival, the show’s producer Andy Wilman explained: “[James] fell over the night before filming, coming out of a pub.”

The “Grand” Tour seems to becoming more an more “average” The “American” blah grumble blah, “Brain Crash”, “flogging dead horse” gag, “enough is enough” blah grumble blah, enough said about these two. But what of this week’s “feature”? It starts over-scripted and boring and fell away from there. Really, given the time and budget they’ve had to shoot and edit this I feel a bit cheated. (In the “chase” sequence, Hammond goes round the same corner three times, all just shot from different angles) Methinks the presenters are just doing it by numbers, and on the cheap, and pocketing a nice wodge. Well the time has come to say “The emperor has no clothes”
