Panda (Classic) 1993 Panda Parade 'Off Road' 1242 engine [L178 ONG]
It's mine! People from the Yorkshire weekend should recognise it. The big push to get it on the road was for Yorks. Chatting to my Dad about the Trials calendar we're only likely to do one event, and my Dad would prefer someting with PAS.
So... at least it's now on the road, taxed and MOT'd, and I figured the earlier I advertised it the more chance I had of selling.
If anyone knows anyone who's into Trialling then please do forward the ad, I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers

Not to be cheeky, but if someone is stripping this down further for lightness I will take the drivers side door trim please 
seriously though, good luck with the sale, this looks like an awesome wee parade!

I didn't realise it had a 1242cc motor in it or else I would have asked for a go!
It will only cost you £595 to try it!
Is it the 8v or 16v 1242 though?
8v I think - yes it came from a 75 so will be 8v.
pfft, not enough valves for me
shame, would have had it for a weekender fun car
Aren't all the cars you current possess 8v?pfft, not enough valves for me
shame, would have had it for a weekender fun car
A P75 engine would still be pretty nippy in a Panda, only 10hp less than a 1.2 16v.
Yep
Why I'd want a 16er.
Any things better than 750 though.
I'm ignoring the 750 comment... -- best Panda ever made...! :nerner:
And you don't want a 16v: they're far too complicated (and therefore more expensive) to maintain, compared to an equivalent 8v -- even though they are very sweet to drive....
To be honest if it doesn't sell I keep being tempted to transplant the engine, but am trying for once to keep life simple. Trying!!
Have you ever driven a 750?Any things better than 750 though.
Waaay more fun than boring injection Panda crap, even if injection might be more economic and reliable. I'd take my 750 any day over a 1.2 16v Panda
... Or maybe I'd have both
Language Timothy!
aquamarine is it a 8 or 16v engine David?

It's the far more popular 8V variety John.
Phew! That's a relief, now I don't have to buy it
Though it does have twin sunnies......

There's nothing to stop you from putting a 16v engine in, though, is there...?

Only my complete lack of mechanical and electrical skill, no tools apart from a 1/4 socket set and a paralysing fear of blowing the engine/myself up in the process...
Unlikely to blow anything up, more likely some sort of major crushing injury....Only my complete lack of mechanical and electrical skill, no tools apart from a 1/4 socket set and a paralysing fear of blowing the engine/myself up in the process...
