General Pandas for sale and Ebay thread.

[JimMagill]

My friend has his two citroens on foreign plates and he has them MOT'd every year. Also lights and speedo only have to be replaced on a car that is under a certain age. Maybe ten years but I can't be certain.......Cost my brother loads to get his german Opal Astra registered here cause it was only 12 mths old.

Over here it would be different.... I had a Mx5 from Oz once and the fog light was aftermarket and hung down from the rear bumper and the speedo was in KPH. Even thou the car was 15 years old and had a string of english MOT's the testers made me change both. The rules are the same in N.I as they are in England but It's really down to if the tester to use his common sense and ask him self is a fog light thats 6mm too low really a safety issue that may cause harm to road users?

Anyway, we've given up on the LHD and I'm looking at another panda to do Alan (the hubby) over the winter while the Barchetta is hiding from the bad weather

I'd leave it. TBH it's still a 1994 Selecta, and LHD which sort of balances out the condition.

It is worth no more than a RHD Selecta and the person is just being greedy

I could pay up to 400Ł but now...for 700Ł :shakehead: it's JUST 94 selecta and nothing more. There was Japanise Panda with A/C and sold cheaper....:doh:

But Jim, you have to admit that is in ruddy good condition.

Do we see you grabbing a trip to France looking for a few to bring back ? Can Sylvia tow one of her french cousins ?

Good business

I paid £800 for mine, bought it over the phone, sight unseen..

Maybe a little expensive, but it's a lovely little car and has kept SWMBO happy ever since, so from that point of view it's been an absolute bargain..

Cheers,

[purple haze]

Yeah, but after your 815 for the car there's the 55 to reg it then you need a second hand or new speedo and then two new headlights

If you didn't do the work yourself there's well over a grand for a 14 year old panda....

Mmmm.....

Jim highlighted it, perhaps he was looking a vehicle to take over the exploring mantle from Sylvia

Let's face it, his car does spend a lot of time on the wrong side of the road - a LHD makes the ideal choice.

Still ....we still dont know what the car is going to be used for...jim didnt buy it.....
