And cheap crap wheel trims...this could be very good..but it's not. It misses by a few important details.

They list it as a 1983, so a mk1 which it does look like from the back but how have they even achieved the front end to look so..... weird...

And a Marbella front on it! Does say 1983 though.
Double confused
I think I've seen this one for sale before. Looks like a Mk1 with Marbella interior, front bumper and headlights. Seems like the seller doesn't know what he has.
Ah...sorry I am being dumb..1983.. It's a waste of £1000's spent and getting it spectacularly wrong.
Be good if they turn up on here..they usually do.

We debated this once before I recall but not sure we noticed the mk1 bodywork last time.
Deffo saw one with that orrible grille and strange bits, claiming to be concours.

Can't bring myself to included it in the MK1 thread...but guess it should be there as that's what it is reg at. No idea if it was a 45 45cl 45s etc.
Whooh - the DVLA think it's an unlicenced brown 903cc. So not white, 1 litre, or worth the risk if I may be so bold!!!
Edit - on the plus side it is a Fiat......

Take a sick bag..:devil:
I think it is a mk1 shell with marbella front bumper headlights and a bent panda front grille. Can't fit the mk1 panda tailgate on a marbella so without major work that would be a no go and the scuttle panel below windscreen is panda not marbella. Again this could have been cut out and panda one welded in but more realistic that someone tarted up the mk1 with marbella parts because the mk1 parts are a biatch to get hold of and that's all they could find

That's just for the interior - you need a bucket for the front! :devil:

It was nearly two years ago when we last discussed this car, still owned by the same Guy.
A couple of months after we discussed it I was approached by someone at a car show who new of an immaculate Panda that had been restored at a cost of £12,000. He gave me the no. of the owner and when I contacted him it turned out to be this one. He was asking £2000 at the time, I was going to view it but changed my mind.
I guess if the right Panda parts could be found it could be returned to original and make a very nice example, but I don't feel inclined to do it.
The parts could be found,,make sure you add the missing air intake rubber tube to the list..
£12,000!!!!! a lot of drugs in brighton...

If I was paying £1790 for a mk1 I might expect it to look like a mk1 if I'm completley honest
It is good work though, I almost have the parts to put it right as well
