Shame they didn't make it to the UK market, they had all the ingredients of a winner but I guess it was all down to the quality, or lack of, of the finished car.

The X19 was and is a stunning car.

The rap it got for been a hairdressers car was insulting and wrong

Wasn't there talk about banning soft-tops in the USA due to safety fears? This would have been late seventies or early eighties and a number of manufacturers scaled back production as a result. Others incorporated a roll-bar into the design which didn't do much for the looks of the cars but got round the problem.
