General The oldest Panda ...

[Panda_Jagd_Tom]

Hi togehter !

I hereby like to start a very interessting thread:

Who owns the oldest Panda ????

Please quote the frist registration-date.

I allow myself to start with: 30. Jan. 1986

Best regards Tom

I dont advise anyone else to put their cars VIN number on here.

Hi Tom,

I'm not sure how things are in Germany, but in the UK quoting your reg and vin on an open forum isn't really possible. It leaves the car wide open to cloning and we know for a fact that there are some unsavoury elements that browse this (and other) forums looking for such info.

The reg date alone would be better I think.

 

[Alan.D]

Steve edit the thread for him

Anyway no where near with a 1989 as my oldest but best. (stu should be good at this one )

 

[Nuova500]

Have edited it Alan, especially as he was asking for others to out their VIN number down!

 

[pandamonius_maximus]

Well as has been said, no point in mentioning anything over 1982 i think it is, but while i appear the oldest yet to have spotted this thread, i go and lay down my 1985 c reg! Ah moment of glory! lol

Hi UK!

The oldest Panda in our polish club is from January 1982. She is 45 model, lives in Zielona Gora, near german border since 1991 and is called "Green Speeder"

And there is also similar Panda for sale in Łodź, in central Poland, but she is not in the club (yet )

Hi together!

I am very sorry about my vin - mistake -

Thank you for the correction in my thread !
(@ nuovapanda, steven, Alan.D)

Indeed we don't have a similar problem here.


But about the oldest Panda !!! My respect

1981 + 1982 model are real rare things

I'll report about this in our german forum.

Regards Tom

P.S. I myself have only 141 - 4x4 models - actual 3 of them

__ By the way - which is the oldest 4x4 ?

== > (mine: Sissley MK I reg: 06.Jul.1984)

 

[Alan.D]

Sorry :Offtopic: I have 3 also Tom but not all 4x4.

 

[Stuartl]

If our 'car-maker' would know this ....
My respect for keeping this jewel on the road:

Some Pics of my 1986 4x4 Panda-Pickup (Hunting-Trainee)

Hmmm i'm confused now tom! Your 1986 4x4 has mk1 everything i can see (doors, sills, tailgate, lights, grill etc), except it has the rear wheel arch moulds from a mk2 Is that something you've done or was that another stage between mk1 and mk2?
Also, dare i say it, i have the oldest Mk1 panda 4x4 in britain!

Cheers
Si

 

[pandamonius_maximus]

Also, with the engine, ive just noticed that the carb isnt the twin auto choke they fitted to the 4x4. Is it still the 965cc engine? Cos my carb is so problematic i would love to know if there is another option to the 32 DATR weber.

Cheers

Well... my pics about my second (in age) 4x4 Panda have been an

addition to this thread. I'd love to see if the right person - which could

obviously only be 'pandamonius_maximus' - would take the honour to

open the thread about the oldest Panda 4x4 - would you ???
(Hopefully with international candidates )

Regards Tom

P.S. Swansea is known to me as a place of good friends of mine ... to bee continued ...

I fear it would be a very empty thread on the oldest Panda 4x4! So far i have the only one, but perhaps i could log it down for any future members to find.
Also, you say you have friends in Swansea? Is that in the city/town or just in swansea district? Perhaps if your up there at any point, could meet up! Swansea is of course right next to the gower, which is one of the reasons i decided to go to swansea university, and the people are generally friendly. Do you have your panda here in the UK? Would be interested to see your "yougster" lol, not many pandas in wales really. A few marbellas though. Which is a shame as i have no one else arround who understands why i like these little cars so much!
Anyway, i ramble on! Might start the thread oldest 4x4 just in case there is a lurker on the site
