General MK1 Panda Members Cars

Much more than a facelift. Completely changed the rear suspension (except 4x4) from leaf to coil springs, different interiors and seats, new engines and bodywork changes. Much more changed than for example mk1 to mk2 fiesta. They look similar at first glance but it's amazing how much stuff isn't compatible.
 
Should it not be pre facelift and facelift as Mk2 is a really different animal?
The mk1 is the 1980-1986, the mk2 is 1986-2003 - the mk2 had a facelift model from 1991. The mk1 is quite a lot different to the mk2 as mentioned by Y10.

Not only was suspension and interior different, the engines changed over from using the pushrod 903 to using the fire 750 and 1000 engines too. The mk1 has smaller bumpers and a different body style on the sides at the bottom (bumpy look) where the mk2 is smooth, and the door window/mirror combination is different also. All sorts of other minor things too, metal fuel tanks and smaller radiator for the metal grille type on the standard mk1s, etc... The 1991 mk2 facelift was mainly a new grille with a few chunky slats as opposed to lots of small ones in terms of looks. Anyway, as Y10 says, the mk1/mk2 are a lot different basically, so we tend to distinguish between them as follows:

Mk1 1980-1986
Mk2 1986-1991
Mk2 Facelift 1991-2003

This thread is to keep an eye on the remaining MK1 pandas left in the UK. These cars are rare and if anyone happens along this forum thread please include your car.

This will work alongside and in the same format as the general members motors thread.

So, copy and paste your MK1 and details here....(y)

Purple Haze- 45s model VIP in Two Tone Brown C reg.

My mum still has her silver 1988 Fiat Panda 1000s. Bought it new...68000 miles on clock in 33 years...Today it failed its mot and she said it's time to say tah tah.. Mum is heartbroken...but she is in her mid 80s so it is probably a good thing. Garage offered £500...I said I'd try to get more for her. Someone suggested a Fiat Forum site so here I am. Also to make you aware of the car in case it's not on your radar.
Cheers

Welcome. Looks like the garage is trying a fast one and one should take it elsewhere. I’ve just checked and it’s not even been MOTed by them and failed! :eek:

I assume you got it sold as it changed hands in July last year and currently on SORN
 
This was posted on Friday on FB, no further details other than it being spotted at the bypass, Epsom, Surrey
