What a good idea: that's how I got Hal's code.... :doh:
Pippin is 855, I think, though... -- but that seems a long way away, number-wise: although he is the 'standard' 750L colour....
Here are the two side-by-side.

Looking good Andrew!
Is that the Panda that belonged to the lady that wasn't part of our meet at Thoresby - but then became part of the group after we all showed up?

Thanks, yes that's the very one, the surprise Panda that showed up at Thoresby the first time we did the toilet line upLooking good Andrew!

As far as I can gather the couple bought the car back and basically never really used it, just had it for sentimental reasons and to get it back on the road. I got a folder full of history including a little photo book of the car as they had it new, and the work done to get it back up and running. Lovely thing to see when you're buying a car. It's still not perfect as you can see but it's full of nice touches, daft things like taking the wheel centre off the front tonight to discover brand spanking new wheel bolts obviously put on when they fitted the new wheels.(Quick pic in the dark later) I mean that's not what you expect to see when you take the hubcap off a 20 year old car is it?
Yes that's good to see indeed, it must give you faith to know that work has been done that is not only on the obvious visible bits!
The steels look better than the other "square hole" ones I think, good to see a full set of hubcaps intact too :thumbup:

no paint code, just gives the interior trim codesIf you try one of the Italian or Polish ePERs, then, once you've put your VIN in, and hit return, it will say "Avanti". Click this: you will then get a picture of a Panda, with "Col. n." at the top...!

That's sad.
This is what I get for Hal... -- you can see the colour number in the top LH corner:

See it gives me a code of 131 in that space, but that appears to relate to the interior fabrics. Try to find a paint code of 131 online and it comes up with pink!That's sad.

Right, I think... 301/A Verde Polinesia. ordered a can to give it a try.

Ooops, hang on, supposed to be welding wasn't I

Doh, not starting again, no spark & I think no fuel. Fuel pump primes when you turn the key & there only seems to be a single trigger wire from the ignition for the engine electronics so don't think it's the wiring I disturbed the other day. Anybody's best theories? Crank sensor? Is there a relay or anything for the ecu?
OP
OP
Duff connection to the crank sensor. Successfully avoided doing anything useful for the day now.
That's what you get for going all fancy and modern with your grey bits ;P
OP
OP
But I haven't, I've gone all old skool cool with the black bits
And I have found some of the traditional flaky brown bits too!
You've upset it though whatever you're doing!
OP
OP
It's just embarrassed because I've found some rust.
Anybody any problems with cheap generic lambdas? 4 pin universal lambda appears to be wired in and the plugs suggest the car's running rich, just wondered if the were connected..
No, can't do this, its a colour, so has to keep the orange indicators
I am liking it very much though

OK, not exotic 301A Verde Polinesia, just plain vanilla 301 Verde. Credit to my local much maligned Halfords who mixed me a pot of Fiat 301 which is nowhere near before spotting that Fiat in their wisdom do a totally different 301 paint code just for Pandas. That one the colour match seems to have come out great, far better than any of the existing patch work on the car. Score 1 for Halfords who I've always found far better than the 'stick it to the man' big name haters would have you believe. £20 for 500ml which is about on a par with ebay sellers. Now if I could just get around to doing the repairs which will need painting....
