The X1/9 was first sold as a Fiat in 1972, and when they retired it 10 years later, Bertone took up production for seven more years. The X1/9 competed with cars like the Porsche 914, rather than the outdated MGB, and was met with favorable reviews. Its wedge styling still looked fresh in the 80s, and updates meant it sold reasonably well throughout its production. This one looks sweet with its bright blue paint, and extremely '80s "Tron" wheels.

1973 Porsche 914 2.0
The 914 was developed by VW and Porsche, but Porsche was the only company to put it into production, after worrying their image might be hurt if it was sold as a VW. It replaced the 912 as the cheapest and most entry-level Porsche. Most 914s had Flat-4 engines, while a few, rarer cars had Flat-6s. Today, they are an interesting alternative to the usual British sports cars, especially with the 914's unique roof.
