General Requiem for a Panda

[Giacosa]

Saw this photo on another car website. A vehicle enquiry shows its been gone since December 1993. The picture was taken in the early 90s so the end was near. Makes me sad for all the cars that go to the crusher unsung. Even though its the fate of most cars.

A 45S is it?

From the front grill I don't think it is a 45... Maybe early 750?

Can't be a 750 as its a mk1. Might be a 45. I can't say I know which mk1s came with which grille as they did seem to vary.

Would this suggest it hasn't been scrapped, just not taxed? Sitting in a barn somewhere maybe?

I would say - scapped but not reported, dvla register does not work in high details that far.

Finger crossed i'm wrong!

Out of interest can anyone see the name of the car dealer? I can only make out "******* road motor company" would be interesting to know where this photo was taken

I know exactly where you're coming from: last year, I did a text check on my 1st car, and found out it had been scrapped in October 2013, at the relatively young age of 12. I was gutted to think that someone had torn apart the car I learnt to drive in, and passed my driving test in!

If you sell 'em on they're gone!

That is true I suppose.

Like you say its all the memories that go with a vehicle when its destroyed. All the anger, fumbles on the back seat, entertainment from driving it if its a Panda, destroyed in a few seconds in a very clinical industrial process.

Well, there wasn't any fumbles on the back seat, but the 1st time I ever met up with a girl, I went in that car, lol!
