Seat looks comfy in that first one(!)

I'd like to try a 999cc Y10, just for comparison with a 999cc Panda.

I have a Kirkey on a Cinquecento subframe in my shed ready to go.

A 'bit' more refined. But really very similar. I have a pet theory that 3rd gears synchro lasts longer

Wind noise and resistance must be less too with that curved screen and cut off back end?

Anyways, picking Gertie up on Saturday providing VmanC doesn't break it while on shakedown!

Can't even drive him at the moment, trapped a nerve in my back on Saturday and been laid up ever since.

I can definitely vouch for that, outlived first & second gear on mine. To drive, bit more sluggish low down due to extra weight, but better at motorway speeds due to the aerodynamics (i.e. they have some!) Handling pretty similar and a fair bit more refined. Less mechanical noise mostly, my first impression of the Panda a couple of months after I got rid of the Y10 was it felt a bit agricultural by comparison.

My abiding memory is more that by some quirk of the aerodynamics the rear screen was next to useless most of the time as any dust or spray seemed to be funnelled directly onto it by the airflow over the car.

My firstcar-SD1 had an equally useless rear screen, as did the landrovers learnt to drive in - talk about agricultural!

Hmmm I wonder if a spoiler would help...
VmanC get well soon, or will the Trans be wheelchair friendly enough to have PandaMo ferry you about?

Wind noise isn't noticeable as far as I remember. They're quite good motorway cars

If anyone wins the right hand drive one (I'm the winning bidder at the moment) I have a white Panda Fizz the same age-ish if you'd like to do a full comparison and road test for the forum and maybe get PPC involved. It'll be a fun day out.

Last M.O.T September 2014?

What could possibly go wrong?

Punto 16V on bike carb's or restore?

Answer "a" for me on this poll please.
Congratulations - enjoy it whatever you decide.

Lancia Y10 FIRE four left in the UK. So Martini stripes, Pollycarbonate windows, buckets and white Fiorino wheels are back on the shelf.

DOH!

Leaving National Trust and 'I heart badgers' stickers as the only non-standard mods..?

I'll do a Wheeler Dealer, basic repairs for M.O.T, run a polishing mop over it and sell it "Fully Restored".

Well done Liquid Knight

Four Y10's within the forum now!

Definately need to all meet up

Four of the fourteen.
