just got round to getting a digital camera , and hopfully worked out how to post photos , this is my third panda in my motoring career the previous ones being a brand new 750L and a standard 4x4 (with rotting doors!).
i found this one at a nearby fiat garage with 59000 miles on the clock , and only one previous owner, she bought it from the garage and sold it back for a new panda 4x4,its in brilliant condition and no door rot.
i've just took all the wheels off today, rubbed them down and re painted them.
iy's so good to be back driving a car with some character.

Very nice,

Like the Union Jack on the door, presume there is one on the other side as well?

Where are the Bullbars?

Regards.

the union jack is there hiding a small dent on the door ,i could'nt press it out because of the double skin near the lock! and yes theres one on passenger door just to keep things equal!
as for bullbars, been looking but i have'nt found any yet, if i can't find any i'll have to make some, as i'm a plater/welder by trade, it's just getting time!

Welcome back to Panda ownership! More-ish, aren't they?

Good luck with the Sisley - looks really nice.

Cheers,

A very nice example indeed. Was it from a Fiat Dealership then? Didn't think they kept traidin's over a few years old. lol. Hope she provides many years of trouble free happy motoring.

I think they kept it to sell because they had sold it originally, and serviced it for the following years.

That's a very clean example, does it look as good in real life as the pics?
