General Panda's from above

[4WDPandamonium]

Whilst en route to Masham on Sunday to meet up with everyone a guy started chatting to me about my Panda at the local petrol station. He said he once bought a 4x4 for £50, went and tore up some tracks some where and then got rid of it (if only these days!). He also told me of a couple of 4x4's he knows of sat in a field in Denholme in Bradford. Without going there I have just had a look to see if they are there on google earth.


Its difficult to make out but what does everyone think? The red and white one next to each other.

The red one is definately a panda in my opinion, the white one is the right size, but the windscreen looks different to me, but I would imagine they are both the pandas yes

That warrants a drive over then, only 30mins from me. I'll let you know

Had a look on streetview and I cant see the name of the business or anything, and I cant see any other views of the pandas, there is a car sales business across the road though called Hoyles Denholme, might belong to them as on the streetview the entrance to the area has vans for sale at the entrance to the driveway.

Yeah I had look on street view and couldn't see over the wall, I didn't notice the garage though, your Sherlock Holmes skills are clearly at a level above mine!!

Just had another look, all the cars in the garage are 4x4's........another piece of the jigsaw!

On checking their website they specialise in 4x4s and motorhomes, which would explain the motorhomes parked at the end of the driveway entrance to the area! Maybe its a secondary storage for them?

They all look like pandas for me.
On the street view you can see thru the fence.
Dark Green one can be only the "S", 2x whites, 2x reds most common 4x4 colours.

Unfortunately 2h drive from my place.

I couldnt get an angle to see through the fence on streetview, well done! I wonder what kind of condition they are in? How much would they want for them? How much to transport one 205 miles to my house??? *heavy breathing*

Unfortunetly I doubt I would be able to get one right now anyways, not unless they are literally giving them away and someone wants to panda express one to me

The sherlock factor is strong with you kolza

I was going to phone them half an hour ago, but thought that exact same thing.

I can phone though if anyone wants me to?

Good skills Jacob, the green one is def a Panda, you're right you can see the roof line and the boot through the fence.


I'll go scope it out unless anyone else lives closer within the next few days and report back.

 

[onemanmade]

On second thoughts if 4WDPandamonium is heading out there in the next few days its best if noone calls, dont want someone setting a ridiculous price on them, or trying to make out they are in everyday use when they may not be. The best thing is just to turn up and try to arrange something with them if indeed they are worth arranging about.

I agree on the radio silence for now for the reasons you just mentioned. Lets play it cool!

 

[kolza]

Fine, no calls regarding 5 pandas in the back yard then, if 4WDPandamonium can attend in person that would be great.

onemanmade did you ever hear anything back about that one that was abandonned in the dales?

Unfortunetly not! The editor told me he was passing it on to the guy that does those columns in the magazine, but I have never heard anything more
