Thanks for this. That car makes mine look good.

Had a feeling this might attract your attention
Interesting to see what it goes for, although being tucked down in Cornwall might effect its selling price?

If it goes for £850 in that state it would be interesting.

It looks relatively sound but scruffy. A good clean would work wonders for this car. If I needed another 4x4 I might be tempted - unlike most it has an MOT and seems honest, not a pimped up sale queen like some have been.

The car looks a lot better on my laptop rather than my phone. Still on a par with Peterborough though. I still think £850 would be close to insanity.

didn't they have 4x4 decals on rear wings in 1989..?
mine are wrongly positioned... should have been a warning bell there...

Just noticed this it the same seller as the Red raised 4x4 G718 TUT

Yes, decals are missing - possibly been at the same body shop where the huge red overspray has been done on the seat of the Red one.

he is offering a 14 day return... mine was over £500 NO mot, NO returns...
he'd accept £750 hard cash surely..? MOT got to be worth something..?

Ha ha probably got history then like mine... though what will they fetch just for the running gear in a few years time..?

I think mine was rolled as the O/S decal is still visible under the overspray... they must have repaired the damaged side and later realised they'd put the decal on wrong (too far fwd) and had to do other side to match, but then couldn't be arsed to remove original decal properly... tch
Vernon should have spotted that one lol, but I've had my 500 quid's worth out of the old girl and she's nearly good to go again... I hope...

It's got a hell of a good description this one

"-new Mot if necessary"

wonder how much it would have to get up to for him to put MOT on..?

Better no description than dodgy one in 'shouting text' though eh?

Last time I went dashing off to Cornwall (actually Plymouth's in Devon innit?) it turned into an expensive mistake requiring a solicitor's letter - lost fuel, B&B and deposit... - but that's motor caravans for you. Panda's are much less complex

So it sounds like you guys aren't keen on this panda, I have been considering it as I'm from Cornwall.
I'm guessing its not worth the bother then?

It may be ok but with poor and too few pictures, plus no description it's very difficult to say.

I certainly wouldn't consider it without going to see it first.

It looks ok to me

A good clean and a decent description would probably have it flying away at the BIN price. If it's solid when you see it, seems good value - 3 months mot left but it says new mot with purchase, so it can't be too bad......

Could have been worth the price...pics rubbish. My first 4x4 was white five years ago in the same kinda nick.... £100... How times change.

It's ended now with no bids. The distance would be the biggest issue for most of us Northerners you could send the guy a message to arrange a viewing. But I'd offer around the £500 mark for the car as it stands.

Mine was £350 and a pile so £500-£600 should be the right sort of money for a rough box. For £850 I'd expect the car to have seen soapy water and a sponge maybe a full valet at least.

I offered him £900 and he said the lowest he would take was £1100, and that was with the current mot not a new one. Not worth the bother then
