Hey there,

I hoping someone may be able to help. My friend is living in spain and is due to come back to the UK. She owns a 2004 Fiat Panda 1200cc and it is going to have to pass the VOSA test to be legal for this country.

We know that we will have to change the front and rear headlights, anyone know of any for sale, trying to do it as cheap as poss.

Also do we have to change from KMH to MPH ??

Any help appreciated

Hi tinkerpanda and welcome to the forum.

Im not too up on the registration of newer vehicles in the U.K. I did register my '73 fiat 500 without too much effort, I think it cost in the region of £50 for the registration admin and then the cost of one years road tax. Along with this I had to have it MOT'd before going to register it and provide an insurance document along with papers supporting the age of the vehicle.

Im guessing it may be different for newer vehicles, but you may find this link usefull - goodluck !!!

:yeahthat:

Don't think its law to have MPH as main reading... aslong as its on the clock. Miles will also be kept in KM so make sure this is remember if you com to sel it here.

for parts just browse ebay and the classifieds on this forum. Parts are usually available for a good price

Got any pics of the Panda. Post them in "show us your panda" thread

Just wondering, but being "1200cc" is this a new Panda rather than a classic Panda?

That and the mention of 2004 sure points to a new panda.

You could try breakers for the lights (would you need rear ?)

1 years tax should be £120

This should help you

Chas is right. Why didn't anyone pick up on this before. the "classic" shape stopped in 2003 and only went up to the 1108 mpi like sei has.

Defo a mk3 we're talking about here me thinks.

Ebay probably best for headlamps etc.

Surely as these are sold in the EU, all she needs is an EU certificate of conformity from Spain? Then just a UK MOT, and registration.
