Panda (Classic) Hello :)

[ginkelvanmichiel]

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Michiel, from the Netherlands and actually joined the forum whilst viewing a youtube-movie, recorded by one of the members of this forum who recently rescued a 1994 Seat Marbella.

At the moment my car collection consists of one 1977 Citroën Dyane, one 1982 Fiat Panda 34 (at the moment rebadged as Seat Panda due to the fact it was built there) and a 1987 Seat Marbella Eco, a rare environment friendly exemple, which was fitted with a catalyst converter and ECU back in 1987. It drove only 45.000 kms from new.
Next to the 'big' cars I also own a 50's home built bubblecar, made out of tubular steel, plywood and a 50cc two-stroke engine with 7 hp,

the Panda:

Dyane:

and bubblecar:

Welcome... -- a wonderful group of cars...!

Was it Dragon Man you were referring to, re the video...?

 

[ginkelvanmichiel]

Yes, indeed. I was looking for some movies with the Seat Marbella in the picture, when I stumbled upon his YT channel.

I owned a Dyane in 1979! Seeing your photo brings back happy memories! My car was orange. I loved that car but now I love Pandas!

Panda 34? Is that the air-cooled two cylinder one?

 

[ginkelvanmichiel]

The Panda 34 was a Spanish export model of their Seat Panda 35. It was sold in Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
Its a four-cilinder 843cc, originally from the Fiat 850. In Holland there were more 34's sold then 45's, just because they were even cheaper

Oh, I've never heard of the 850 engine ever going in a Panda, here we only got the 769cc, 903cc and the 999cc engines. (Well as far as I'm aware)

[Dragon Man]

I had the opportunity to drive fiat 127 panorama with 1.3Diesel..... the performance ! the vibrations, noise and lack of acceleration !!..... and 1.3D in panda was even 7hp weaker.... that must be a ride of the lifetime
Bad idea for a getaway car in postapo times
