EXTERIOR
This super chic Fiat Panda is finished in original Fiat Grigio Oslo (code 626). The paint finish has retained a marvellous uniform shine and bright polished finish. The famously lightweight body panels are straight and free from dings or corrosion and being structurally excellent, this truly is a rare survivor. Close inspection will reveal only very minimal and minor age related scratches to the paintwork which certainly take nothing away from the instantly recognisable Giorgio Giugiaro design classic that is simple, boxy and charming. All original trim sections and badges are intact and even the supplying main dealer number plates remain fitted! Now difficult to find in this original unmolested condition, this example is an enthusiast’s delight.
INTERIOR
The delightfully sparse interior of this Panda harks back to a far simpler era of motoring with an emphasis on everything you need and not a lot more! Surprisingly comfortable, the Superior style seats and matching door trim is beautifully clean and wear free. Many thoughtful design touches such as the movable ash tray and capacious door pockets remain intact. The additional front utility shelf trimmed in matching seat material offers further storage space and the original carpeting is spotless. All functions and controls operate perfectly and remain true to the manufacturers intentions. Uber stylish!
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Fitted with the 999cc fully integrated and robotised engine, this car is surprisingly lively producing 45bhp at 5000rpm and maximum torque of 59lbs.ft at 2750rpm. Quiet and remarkably economical (46.3mpg) due to simple single point fuel injection it will provide the new owner with very low running costs but maximum reliability and tremendous fun. The four speed gearbox is light, smooth and precise. A guaranteed smile on your face once behind the wheel.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Five immaculate factory standard steel wheels are shod in 135/80 R13 tyres with good tread remaining. The spare wheel is correctly housed in the engine compartment which is incredibly clean with factory stickers displayed. Independent brake circuits incorporating front discs and rear drums bring the car to a straight line stop quickly and safely.
