High mileage Tomica Fiat XJ/9

Recent Yard Sale score. This Tomica Fiat has seen better days. I don’t plan on restoring this. I think it looks pretty great as-is. I’m glad some little kid played with this quite a bit and it’s a darn shame they probably will never see a 1:1 in their life because XJ/9's aren’t very common on the road anymore. I remember in the 80's these were all over the place and loved by many. But, the pre-internet era was not friendly in obtaining parts for obscure brands. Once Fiat dealers closed up in the U.S. most of the cars slowly went from driveway to backyard to crusher.
