I have a choice of either bright....



or stealthy....

Ooh, i see the 100HP reg is OV57 - are you in Oxford aswell? I have seen quite a few Oxford registered Pandas lately. Couple of 100HPs, one grey & one white if i remember correctly. An 08 plate black 4x4 and a few Actives, one in Yellow.

For others wondering why seeing locally registered Pandas is such a revelation - they seemed a rare breed here until lately as our nearest big Fiat dealer had been Perrys in Aylesbury, which is about an hours drive from Oxford City Centre. Though a couple of years ago, Hartwell near Oxford started selling Fiats and people have finally started buying them - seemed to get off to a slow start.

Well I'm in Banbury, but I got the 100hp from Perrys in Aylesbury....I figured Oxford was their nearest licensing centre?

So are they not Fiat anymore then?

Shame Fiat didn't think so....Dry Turquoise and Guacamole were great Panda colours until they got dropped!

I wonder if the move away from 'younger" colours was to emphasise the difference between the Panda and the 500 for marketing/sales purposes.

I have a Panda Dynamic Eco in New Orleans Blue and it looks loverly in the sun, nice and bright, really suits the car, My fav colour.

I had the choice of white or blue, but seeing the two side by side the blue looked classier.

White - Looks very nice, but hard to keep it looking clean

Grey - a bit dull for a small fun car. My least fav colour

Red - is very nice and suits the car well ( i've seen a red one locally ). My second fav colour

Black - Looks great, but a real b****** to keep clean ! ( I've owned a black car before and they always look dirty, be prepared to clean it at least 2-3 times a week if you want it to look nice ! )

Ah right, i'm near Witney

Oxford DVLA Office would be where Perrys get their registration numbers from yeah (used to work for DVLA )

Perrys & Hartwell both do Fiat now yeah, i just meant that Perrys were our closest dealer until Hartwell started selling Fiats. Im not sure about either tbh, i'm abit cautious of the dealers that sell several makes - jack of all trades, master of none etc. Id probably buy a car from either of them, but take it somewhere smaller for servicing, like you do with yours.

White is the colour if you want to wash it every second day .
