The last of the X1/9s sold were badged Bertone, not Fiat as Fiat hived off the last cars to Bertone, although they were sold through Fiat dealerships. Nothing like a bit of "badge engineering".

DaveG Club Treasurer Member 311 Je suis un Coupé Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 8,416 Lightwater, Surrey	My 1985½ Pininfarina SpiderEuropa was a "badge engineered" Fiat 124 Spider 2000, with Pininfarina taking over the complete manufacture of the RWD convertible in 1983, in much the same way that Bertone took over the X1/9 for the "finale" version. The name Azzurra was used in the US, and came from the 1983 Italian entry to the America's Cup http://33rd.americascup.com/en/contexte/que-sont-ils-devenus/1983-azzurra-i-4-25-669 and both the Azzurra and SpiderEuropa featured a boot lid badge in the form of a stylised yacht sail http://www.international-auto.com/images/originals/badges_pinn_azzura.jpg Many people mis-spell the name as Azzura, including me But I'm not sure why this thread gets resurrected every 2-3 months?

paulnb Unregistered P	Was not the 124 Spider designed and built in the Pininfarina factory for Fiat, using Fiat parts? Pininfarina took over further development but always manufactured them. I have always spelt Azzurra like this, is there 1 or 2 'r's.. you have used both spelling lol My '84 Azzurra is nearly restored
