Panda (Classic) Never Say No To Panda (Conservation Project)

You mentioned Stratos Andy? my favourite Stratos livery is "pirelli"

Lovely video by Monkey Harris featuring 'a' Pirelli Stratos but is this the one you mean?



No such thing as a bad looking Stratos as far as I'm concerned but the wedge profile has attracted particular paint schemes that may not transfer so well to our little boxes. That's why I'm interested in Deltas.

Integrale box arches are a step too far perhaps but Marku Allen's 1987 Group A HF 4wd as seen on that year's Lombard RAC Rally in Martini livery...

Excellent idea Andy - get it done.

I have a white bonnet somewhere, but it's not rust free by any means. Yours if you want it.

I have a source for proper 14" HF 4wd wheels instead of the Speedlines in the photo, but the way the Martini stripes flow down the C pillar looks like it could be adapted to work on a Panda..

Now, engine choices..?:devil:

and yes, it looks super only on wedge stratos body. not for matchboxes

Love that too J, very nicely done.

HF rims:

Answer to your engine question is in the linky

Interesting suggestion - I was automatically thinking '16V' again but you're right, an 8V turbo motor is exactly what should be under this bonnet.

Can you fit balancer shafts to a FIRE engine?

There you go kind Sir.


In case you haven't seen that yet.

Andy, appologize for hi-jack but look what i've found in Japan.


as it is twin sun roof version I doubt it is being raced.



Me personaly prefer to see Sean's car more like this with 16valve engine.

-I see what you're saying, less 'rally' more 'off-road'. Need to hear from the owner

What will be the result of adding rally to off-road?

Paris-Dakar style.

Wonder if anyone has done an Alitalia Panda?... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-131-...078827?hash=item2a626f29eb:g:jXQAAOSwG-1W1Ug4

The Pony Panda has returned -



Sill, inner and outer plus new wings and a few patches here and there.



Great job once again by Wayne (creator of Panda Panda's orange Henry) to save another 4x4 for the future. Down to me now to get it back together and MOT'd in time for the North Yorks event.

Wish me luck.

It lives!



No advisories (second attempt though) after 9 years in captivity, towing a rake around an arena, the wild tracks and roads beckon again. - Does this work qualify for charitable status I wonder?

Plenty of snags to go at but the drive is really tight - puts the Snatch to shame anyway. Now where were we up to with the mad paint scheme ideas..?

Well done you guys.

Epic work Andy, great news!

Fantastic news andyholli and SeanK. Can't wait to see it on/off the road.

So I have a stash of photos I've collected of random pandas which could be used to inspire paintwork schemes...

My personal recommendation would be:


The paintwork looks good in the photos though, Not worth just painting the wing? (sorry sounding boring I know )
