It needs brake pads and a ball joint but other than that I'm happy
Sat and watch 'Herbie Fully Loaded' tonight (and got really drunk) and then felt really guilty for leaving Juppy in the garage for the last lot of months and not sharing car love with him!
Right, I'm going to get some photos of little and large over the next few days!

Steve said:Just to put thing in perspective. The Panda was about £6000 when new. The Merc was about £56,000 when new...
I'm not sure but I imagine that you could of got a panda 1000s in 1990 for around 3500 to 4000???
Anyone any ideas?
Jim

Average in the 735 is about 24 odd unless there is a lot of town driving (which I don't do much of thank heavens) when it drops just under 20. But even on a run I don't get much more than 26-28
The 750 on a run is 29-30 but in town is 12-15 but it is running 3x4 cyl 1.7 engines.
But the advantages as you are probably aware is fabulous.
