I'm not entirely sure the frontal treatment is particularly happy, but otherwise it doesn't look bad for a 30 year old design
The Japanese were pretty switched on (again) with pick-ups, or maybe they just had such a good range that they were well able to fill the niche. I'm pretty sure there was a change in the tax regime that allowed sole traders and small companies claim back VAT and a higher rate of depreciation against tax.It might be to do with the UK tax laws. Most people who want a pickup are self-employed. I think (not certain) that if a van can't carry a ton payload then it's classed as a company car and you get clobbered for loads of benefit-in-kind tax.
All the big Tonka-toy things that rich builders charge around in are over a tonne, so are cheaper to run than running a Panda privately.
TFord's answer was simple, put a little side window into the body right behind the doors, hence much better visibility and greater safety.
i always thought that at the time you had to have a window on the side to the rear of the driver to be aloud to do 70mph, so that is why they put it there

I get the feeling postage is rolled in rather than being "free"
Speed limits for different classes of vehicles have always attracted the attention of the "Men from the Ministry" so I can't say for sure what the limits used to be for different types of motors. Certainly at one time the speed limit for heavier trucks used to be 20 mph, but, to be fair, that was before even I was born.i always thought that at the time you had to have a window on the side to the rear of the driver to be aloud to do 70mph, so that is why they put it there

Some time later, I even discovered that diesel fuel ( derf) was more expensive than petrol in the UK....!!
It's just the opposite here, diesel is about 25% less expensive compared to petrol...!!
We did have a great trip after all....!!
diesel was a lot cheaper here than petrol many years ago when very few cars ran on it, but when loads of diesel cars started to appear on the roads the government spotted gold and taxed it more, they should have added another fuel died blue or orange for trucks IMO to keep it cheap for them but they didn't
