In the nick of time! Purchased today.

After much dithering over a newer used (circa 2013) TA or 1.2 Pop/Easy/Lounge and all the Euro 5/6 emmissions issues etc I decided the most practical thing was another 100HP. And to be honest having owned one a year ago that's exactly where my heart lay. Once driven cross country at speed never forgotten. And I love the equipment, ergonomics, style and fun factor.

Financially too I just could not spend £5k on a five year old regular 1.2 that still has a fair bit more to lose. In contrast I'm pretty sure the last and best of the 100HPs have bottomed out and will rise for sure in the coming years.

Really chuffed with this one that I found locally in the end. A very original and super clean in/out nice late model from 2010 in Electroclash Grey - good history and picking up tomorrow with new tyres all round, new cam belt and MOT etc. Best thing - rear axle (that Panda killer) is really solid and just some light surface corrosion. Pics below as it is being valeted etc - great bodywork, just one small ding in the rear that the dent-man is doing too.

Pick up tomorrow just in time for Saturday - see you there!

Well done. One of the last cars in the best colour. They only made 2000 so was worth taking your time. (y)
 
Cheers guys - grey is good but have to admit white is by far my fave colour in these - like the black too but the bodykit bits and black windows etc really pop on the white. At the same time the white is pretty stealth too and all Pandas should be black and white. :)

Just have to see if the perfect 2010 white Pandamonium with Skyroof near me ever comes up for sale and I might grab that..

In the meantime dug this out of the garage ready for tomorrow. (y)

Ahhh, it's got them! Just gutted I did not get an Italian flag badge in time for the back...
 
My first time at Auto Italia and had a great day. Mind blowing numbers of supercars but some glorious old Alfas, Lancias and Fiats.

There was a lovely original green 1300 X/19. I had this exact year and colour myself in 1985, very fond memories.

Add up the value of the three little runabouts in the last pic... ;)
