General Parcel shelf??
Yes!
Have a look on ebay or try a scrappy. I'm sure you could get a new one if you want to spend the cash.

What type of panda is it? Would it be a 750L by any chance? If so your unlikely to find a shelf anywhere as they often fell to bits. I have one in my 750L and it's had many repair jobs to keep it going, I tired to see if I could get a new one from Fiat but the Ignorant 'Technician' at Fiat siad they're discontinued because the pands are to old, so I made sure I pointed out that they one stopped production of them in 2003 in Italy!
First off, Big Props to Alan D. for helping me out with a similar problem (needed bonnet dimensions for a pirate flag decal thingie). That aside, ask the forum: One of these kind souls will have the dimensions of the standard parcel shelf. Take said dimensions and get someone to fashion you a brand new one (with speaker cone fittings/glow in the dark plstic/ fish tank) out of acrylic or something similar. I imagine that it would fit on the rear seat release handles as on any other Panda (why don't we have a nickname for the generic vehichle, Peugot 206s are reffered to as 'Pugs', by the way?), and if not a well placed bolt in the chasis should do the trick!! Good luck with the project!
Well Fiat said a new one is £90 odd plus the VAT!!! When I had a look at it. it looked like it was very cheap to make but strong (hard black plastic - probably injection molded). I think I might try to make one out of MDF and then paint it or something.
Has anyone else solved this problem on their panda??

Like I said, keep an eye on ebay. I bought one in good condition from there.
Yes but this probably wasn't for the 750L. You can buy shelfs for all the other Panda's but not this particular one! When ever I see a 750L parked I go and look to see if its got a parcel shelf and I have seen one that has (I wonder if mine is the last one remaining, lol).
Surely you can fit any Panda shelf to a 750? Or don't they have the attachments on the back of the rear bench?

The seats on 750Ls are entirely different. They have the hammock style rear seats that mean the usual Panda shelf doesn't fit. The side brackets are different as well. My 750L has no parcel shelf and it never fails to **** me off.
:idea:
Another box of Panda Knowledge ticked.

Didn't know that either. The car's not specified though...
Does that mean that a Mk I shelf would fit, or is it different again?
I managed to replace the broken one on my 4x4 with exactly the same type, i.e. not the plastic one but the fiber-board type complete with furry carpet! To be honest they are as weak as hell compared to the plastic ones but I was still dead chuffed to get it

Would this fit my 750 Mania?
What is a Tacchini interior? (sorry new to the panda world)
Thanks
One of the many Panda limited editions was named the Sergio Tacchini, a (presumably italian) clothing brand. If I remember correctly the seats are green! But this won't affect the parcel shelf.
If all 750s have hammock seats then a parcel shelf will be of no use, seems like your only option is to make one! Which could be fun.

I know some of the later/last 750L panda's (k reg on I think) didn't have the hammock seats, so have the 'normal' panda shelfs.
Just been looking at a Tacchini on ebay, and they have the Normal type panda shelfs and not the 750L's type.
A 750 Mania should have the normal seats and rear shelf.
Might do. Look at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1990-Fiat-Pan...oryZ9843QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
If your rear seat it the same sort of shape, (folds with a hinge), then a normal parcel shelf should fit (and that then means your very lucky, lol)

To clarify - This is a rear seat issue, not a model issue. You will need an older style shelf if you have the hammock seats regardless of what model it is.
I've had a J and a very late H reg 750 in the past and both had non-hammock seats and therefore later style parcel shelves.

Wrong. It is sort of a model issue, as it was only 750L's that came with hammock seats. All other Panda's came with the two peice rear seats which the shelf attaches to.
I had a J-reg with a hammock seat (it might have been around then that they phased them out), but mine could have been sitting stock and been registered later that other Panda's with the hammock seats.
Your 750's, what were they? 750'L's or 750'Mainias' or any of the other 750's?
