JohnK Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi Guys I've been asked to source a Fiat Panda of the original variety. Preferably something currently on the road. It is for the daughter of the CEO of the company I work for so whilst I'm not adverse to buying something needing work and sorting it and negotiating a price with him around that, it would save a faff on if there was something with MOT etc. I know there are a few Panda lickers on here so if anybody has a known good car either currently for sale, or one that they would be willing to sell or indeed know of one please let me know and I will make arrangements to come and view etc. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skut Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have one you can have for free if you take it away. My first car when I was 19 and has resided in a lockup in the Scottish borders since 2007. 1991 1000 CLX No doors & no bonnet . No windscreen, not much exhaust. Rust in various areas although still had MOT when it went in. 150,000 on the clock. I lack the killer instinct to kill it and I might have lost the garage key. Bargain M9 Green.

stephen01 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I picked up a panda from Cornwall a couple of years ago, worst car I've ever had, it was 100% fucked- clean MOT history must have been a blind tester. only drove it onto my drive from the trailer, was a shame as i love the styling of them, sent it to the bridge, offered it out on the panda pages several times but no bites. Don't get involved for your bosses daughter, when it breaks it's your fault. uk_senator and Crispian_J_Hotson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianconeri Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 There is a decent-looking SEAT clone (Marbella) for sale in Hampshire, near Andover I think. Sorry, can't look it up at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 PM For Fiats Sake, if he doesn't have one for sale he'll know where one can be obtained. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I normally know of a few for sale, but not seen a lot lately. I am an ex-Panda owner, several times over, and I do tend to know a thing or two about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_senator Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I've got one, it's in there somewhere, I promise... Skut and stephen01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skut Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 You need to spend time here. https://www.fiatforum.com/panda-classic/ Ideally a late CLX that is immaculate and she wont think she's driving a complete henhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieInExile Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Top speed 110kmh for the 750cc, is that faster or slower than a 2CV 600? Got to have been one of the slowest cars on sale when launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Fearn Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I'm a big Panda licker, I take my 94 CLX all round Europe, it's a great car, currently in the south of France with it. Unless you're hell bent on a 4x4 I'd stick to a late model 1000 fire with SPI. Dead simple and reliable, no choke to worry about or starting hassles. Bodywork is the biggest issue, they rust basically everywhere.The Fiat Forum has gone pretty quiet since the Facebook Classic Panda group started. I'd recommend sticking a post on there.
