I have not even finalised the sale of scooter and got the money in my hands and then Fate kicks you in the face. So i have been thinking take it slow, no rush, find a good condition well cared for panda. And then what turns up 6kms away in the hills near me. 2002 panda 1.1 hobby, 180000 kms (110k miles). Euro 200. ! Add says the car does work, not much else. Is not a city car, some old mountain bloke has almost killed it. We are all suckers for a sad case. Going to view it tomorrow morning. Hopefully no rust. Parts and engines should be cheap in italy right ? Why am i so excited about this. He did say bring jump leads, always a good sign ! I think this model has electric windows. Colour = WINNING. Have you bought it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macscrooge Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I had a 1000S in 1988-90. A cracking little car and with its fifth gear, surprisingly good on motorways. MUCH nicer than the Mk1 45 a friend ran as it had novelties like suspension and seat padding! Being square it was very capacious - rather like a tiny Volvo 240! spartacus, BeEP and somewhatfoolish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Well that was a resounding no. The reality of €200 panda: €350 admin change owner admin fee. Every rubber boot shot, inner gearbox cv boots leaking bad. A fine example of why 2 year mots are bad, all 4 tyres beyond knackered ( and i have used some knackered tyres in my time). Engine in last throws of life. Rust , surprisingly little but due to the following ; It had been used hard off road, underside front foot wells bashed in and rusting bad. I must be patient, for €1000 i should find a fine example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairnet Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 do you get bummed for rego if its a private import? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Currently in negotiations with a columbian in a less desirable part of torino for a 2002 1.1 panda. This could end badly as i believe columbians are not renowned for accepting low offers for their goods. Asking 750, i think nore like 350. spartacus and Ian_Fearn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Fearn Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 If it’s corrosion free, it’d be worth £1500+ all day long in the uk even with a few Italian bodywork modifications. It must be one of the very last with all mod cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
