Sorry "C" reg is 1985 to me because that's when my MkI 4x4 built. I miss that car.

Hope the Panda gets saved very soon. I have it on good authority that a good home is available if cash doesn't mess things up!!

It's another one that needs special historic treatment for sure...I would, but 3 is enough for me..

I want to see if it has the same plastic back to the rear seat as Poppi..

Yesterday, insane. Today, the Pandamania has taken hold really badly: and I am now beyond redemption.... :shrug:

Thanks to the lovely blinkelephant -- and with the sterling support of VmanC: who will be working his usual amazing brand of Pandamagic on my latest acquisition... -- Betty is now mine! (Hopefully, Vernon will be collecting her before she loses her home... -- although logistics have yet to be sorted....)

I'm not quite so sure how this happened. A few days ago (as Palio has commented...), I was insisting that 2013 wasn't the year of the Classic Panda for me -- and that, next year, it had to be either a Selecta or a Sisley (which, at this rate, I should have (both) by next Tuesday...) -- and now I'm the extremely proud (and penniless) owner of a 1000CL and a 750L. :doh:

I'm now off to lie down in a very dark, secluded, padded cell. Please don't let me know of any other Pandas for sale, or I may just have to come round and let your tyres down. (But only by a tiny bit: seeing Pandas come to harm makes me quite ill....)

Already got them both in your sig. too I see.

Well I wouldn't complain too much if I were you, looks like you've got two lovely examples of the breed there, well done. :slayer:

I was sat up, late last night, trying to get my head around all this... -- and this seemed as good a way as any of getting to grips with it....

Thanks for that; and for all your help! :worship:

WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP

It's like a tube of Pringles, once you start you can't stop :slayer:

Reminds me of when we had my 750L and dad with his identicle blue 1000CL - people could never tell if it were him or I

At this rate, my fleet will begin to rival yours...! :worship:

Perhaps I should rename myself Most Central Pandas...?!

love the new sig BTW, just realised mine needs updating!

Betty looks really great in your sig, I'm sure you'll have hours of fun driving her (when the battery issue is sorted!).

Thanks to everyone for helping to find Betty a new home and special thanks to VmanC and Homeward for taking guardianship! Looking forward to seeing her progress...

MCP not sure about that

Congrats on the Pandi, who needs automatics when in a Panda you only need 2nd and 4th

Thanks!

Just to complete the story, I asked blinkelephant why the car was called Betty -- a name I shall retain...

blinkelephant said:

I'm really pleased you're keeping Betty's name! When I first bought her I thought of her age and she seemed to be like a little old lady in car terms, and Betty seemed to suit her to me - kind of fitting for an older lady but still charming and endearing! ;-)

I like that...!
