The footage of you going through the gears with the engine off is painful to watch - sheer brute force trying to hammer the lever into position! Cars like this need a bit of delicacy and patience. The whole point of a Panhard is that you should be able to change gears with just the tips of your fingers and the lightest possible touch. Upon reflection I've deleted my comment because it could be read incorrectly - but feel free to contact me directly on what I said previously in my post I've taken down. I feel words on a page can come across incorrectly when you read them back. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to double declutch my knackered Morris Minor gearbox since 2015 so sadly well versed in the process. Horrible box, lovely car. Completely ruined what I thought was a dream car. I've never been so disappointed. 2 hours ago, barrett said: Previous owner Chris didn't have any problem The only gearchange that's actually visible in your video you clearly make no attempt to double-declutch so you can't be surprised by all the comments pointing this out.

Jerzy Woking Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yet another public holiday today so went out for a ride, and found a garage selling shite that I could actually look at! Had 4 UK plated 1980's Yank cars for sale between €8000 and €12000, but just looked like run of the mill sedans. Sorry, photos i took didn't come out. Two Brit reg taxis, the R plate one €7000, the other €9000 (could easily go into the ebay Bargains thread) Nice little Fiat that didnt look full of wob up for €4500, but it does have a flat front tyre. No idea if that's a good price or not. They had a few more 80's cars in the (locked up) showroom including a UK G plated Rolls. and a couple of Alfas. Will definitely be back here soon for a proper look round. LightBulbFun, Burnside, timolloyd and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one that’s been for sale for MONTHS in Classic Car Weekly. The seller had it up for a stupidly high price. Then it did the usual Selecta trick and gave up being a functioning gearbox. spartacus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also 'teach' a novice how to ride them, by simply showing them how to hold the throttle fully open, before a mate on the left hand side kicked it into gear and you jumped out of the way.
