Hi peeps! Just to introduce myself, name is Vince and I live near March in Cambridgeshire. Well, last week I was just perusing through ebay as I do and spotted a Panda 750 Mania with some issues so kept an eye on it. As is the way with ebay it had been 'sold' the previous week for £200 but was now relisted. Anyway I stuck a bid in and hey presto I have a new baby for £156. The photos of it were not the best so when I went to collect it I was quite pleased it didnt appear to be a complete basket case. Towed it home on an a-frame behind my similar age VW LT campervan from where it was in High Wycombe annoying everyone on M25 and A1 on a friday evening rush hour. For those that dont know these old LTs struggle to keep up with lorries. Add a small hill and a headwind and a little Fiat on the back and its just well, embarrasssing! Like I care. Anyway its now in my back yard and the spanners have been out, clutch is slipping bad, probably damaged cover plate as pedal is nearly on floor. Spotted a bit of rust around rear seat belt area, attacked that a bit and now I have some new air vents......... Great, another new project, as if I dont have enough already. Anyway, on the plus side 20 year old son appears to love it, and even the car snob wife doesnt look too displeased......
