Like that one a lot. Centre console, quite like the grille/ spot mods, looks like an airhorn poking out under the bonnet, extended and rerouted the drain hoses under the windscreen vents, sunroof (OK not the full soft lid but potentially easier to get watertight) nice rims. Had some thought and attention put into it and drivers seat aside looks in great nick. If I was having a second Panda, this'd be a contender!

Shame about the paint and driver's seat. Those 2 alone would cost quite a bit to sort properly. Looks good apart from that - don't know why he mentions the early history, it just highlights the lack of history for the last 28k - which is what I'd be more interested in!

What is a locost badge? Why is it on the car - I presume it's something significant and not low cost in the sense I'm thinking? I can't see it properly in the pictures & am a bit

I like the wheels my sisley had them on it when I brought it but they where a nightmare to keep clean and being a sisley I just had to swap them for a set of white steels.

why do people put negatives in ads "wind up windows and no power steering" big no no you never put negatives unless you have to

Locost's a kit car thing, sort of an even more homebrew than usual Caterham style car iirc. The paintwork and upholstery issues make this harder to restore to standard, but if you're looking to mod it's a great base.

Ah ok - I did wonder, but couldn't see why it would be on a Panda. Still don't actually - like putting an Aldi sticker on a Tesco bag - weird!!

Yes it would be good for modifying. Trouble is the limited edition ones always seem to have the trim knackered, which makes it hard to restore.

The seat could be re upholstered if you knew someone with a sewing machine and some matching green cloth.

Although if 'someones' sewing skills were up to that, 'someone' would have repaired their own original seats by now
