Off Topic How rare is the ?hp Panda

[KungFooPanda]

I was wondering when was the last time you saw a Panda 100hp on the road? I haven’t seen one in at least 6 years! The last one I caught a glimpse at was a red one in Cardiff.

So, what you got and how long have you owned it? Mine is a red 2007 Pandemonium with 71k on the clock that I purchased about two weeks ago. ?

Not surprised you don't see many - https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/fiat_panda_100hp

The 100HP makes up around 0.006% of the total cars on the UK roads!

I see quite a few around chesterfield , there’s an old guy who has a black one up the road and it’s absolutely mint . On how many left there is 1668 on the road so not that rare yet .... but I’m sure they will be in years to come [emoji1303]

I haven't seen a 100hp in years, that's a great website, only 776 panda trekking left , always liked the trekking.

I also own a Celica GT4 205. Seems like only 95 left on the road. This, along with the Panda 100hp are defo future classic cars...

Still not as rare as mine

WOW!!! Now that is a rare one ??

I thought my Alfa 75 TSpark was rare! - but there are around 50 of them with tax and MOT.

(Bizarrely, there are more Trabants on the road in the UK than Alfa 75s!)

I agree with Steve gt...quite a few around Chesterfield..I have a black one so I might be an old guy!!
I've seen another black one around Wingerworth, a white one near Beeley and an electroclash grey one in Bakewell.

Lol...no..Wingerworth.

I see the odd one around but they are quite exclusive!

 

[varesecrazy]

A few down by Oxford.


Not spotted any north of Cardiff.

But far more GP's, pandas..and FIAT cars in general

It's not a 100HP and not even a Fiat costs more than four 100HPs and will need constant TLC but I want this.

At least there is no road tax to pay.

Only 1925 on the road and twenty SORN at the peak in 2011?

Considering the equivalent 500 you would have got for the money I'm surprised they didn't sell as well.
Actually I'm not that surprised at all because the 500 was "like well reem innit? Chair" and had better finance deals. Almost as if Fiat wanted to sell the inferior car thus making the Panda 100hp the collectors item of the future.

Glad I didn't get one for the t-jet swap now and got my Mito instead. :devil:

 

[DaveMcT]

The current Panda has had a hammering in the latest NCAP tests so maybe Fiat had no option but to dump the 169. Quite possibly, they didn't go far enough as the current models still have A LOT of older DNA going right back to the Uno.

It's a shame because in it's day the Mk2 Punto missed out on NCAP 5 Stars by not having side airbags.

I wonder if small cars are being regulated off the market. Perhaps not deliberately but there is only so much safety stuff you can add before there is no space for passengers.

 

[Liquid Knight II]

Not regulated as such but my "small" Alfa Mito is bigger than my 145 and I parked my old Bravo HLX next to a newer 500 and it was dwarfed by the thing.

No wonder the Multipla was replaced by the 500X

 

[DaveMcT]

I live on a narrow dead-end lane with a narrow gateway (the builder must have had a fetish for brick pillars). The Pandas go in/out no problems, though the reduced steering lock on 100HP makes reversing out easier than reversing in.

My son in law has an Audi A5 (the very smart A6 fast back version). It's **** huge!! He had to go forwards and back no-end of times to turn around. I'm sure an older A4 (with only a little less space inside) would have gone though no problems.

All cars have simply got bigger and blobbier over the last 10 years. It has to be safer on paper, but they are a liability on the narrow roads where I live.

 

[HP]

169 Panda is wider than a Mk2 Escort estate, to put things in perspective.

I’ve only ever seen two and that’s because I met the guy specifically to buy parts from him in Warrington, England. He was a fan of them. Never seen one in person in Northern Ireland.
