General an idiots guide to panda ?

[Alan.D]

i like the sunroof but dont need another soft top as i have a craker, i am looking for a work horse for the trip down b&q and you just know that set of drawer will not fit in the B,so i am trying to work out the best model for me

Just get a large trailer (there must be loads in Wales) and you can get as much shopping as you want, you can easy fit a cooker or washing machine in with the seats folded flat but you don't want to ruin the interior and you don't want a towbar on the B

and you don't want a towbar on the B

Towbar on the what

We've fitted to fullsize regular fridges in the back of the 750L with seats down

 

[Alan.D]

B = Barchetta

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

B = Barchetta

Oh right. lol.

 

[Alan.D]

The panda is the best mini utilitarian vehicle of the 80's, the Barchetta is the most stunningly & beautifully designed car that they produced in the 90's if not ever :worship:

If you still appreaciate cars in a couple of years time Jon I'll be very supprised if you don't buy one

One of my favorite pics.....

 

[wish mine was orange]

well said al B are beautifull car best i have ever had, so NO TOW BAR LOL
will all panda take a tow bar could be handy for camping if we fancyed

like the wheels on your B did you keep them?

 

[Alan.D]

I do, you can have them free if you wish but badly need refurbed

Yep all panda's will take a tow bar....

 

[wish mine was orange]

they are alloys then have you been cross country in them then?
i have a man with a spray gun that a dab hand at refurbishing wheels

 

[Alan.D]

They were on the B when I got it and changed them for the wolfrace polished ones, ever since they have been sitting in the garage doing nothing so if you want them you can have them. They were always on the B so never used off road....

I was always lead to beleave FIRE meant
Fully,Intergated,Robotic,Engine

As the engine was made completly by robots

This is correct - in the UK all 750, 1.0 and 1.1 pandas have FIRE engines - some with carburettor, and some with fuel injection. There was also a 903cc ohv engine.

And there was also a twin cylinder air cooled model available in Europe but not the UK if I recall correctly

Plus there's also some rare limited edition models:

Panda 1275cc 16v
Panda 2000 Vtec
Panda mid engine 3.0 V6

All available from Damo's Motors

 

[Alan.D]

You forgot the Seat Marbella 5lt V12....

loving those police cars, presumably the punto is the high speed pursuit vehicle!

 

[pandamaniac]

You lot must have far too many anoraks in the back of your Pandas to know all the models history.

Bet you even know how many are left in the UK and the registration numbers!

4x4 rule OK

Has anyone tried doing a chop shop job and put a scooby engine and drive train in a 4x4, or aren't you mad enough yet.
