What do you think it would have reached if bid for and not By It Now?
You're not crazy.. I sold my CLX and bought a Honda HRV... also big mistake I hated it! I'm happy now I'm back to a panda
I'd go for as late as possible... 1994 or 1995.
There much better screwed together and are really good for day to day use.
They have the 'gray' interior rather than the black.

I would skip the pocket rocket - would go for the max miser... 1.3 Diesel lump from the Terra van and aim for 100 mpg

Is that the one that's got about 33bhp???
I think I'd rather walk my way to 100mpg

Dunno about 33bhp, VW engine possibly (?) but it had a 5 speed gearbox! The 850 Special didnt have one of those either...

I'd go for a late 999cc, low miles is preferrable and an edition with loads of extras - the COLOUR edition is superb. (got a double sun roof but don't start me off again)
They are out there if you look hard enough

I disagree with that!
most 4x4's expecially in good nick never reach the end of the auction without someone buying it backhandedly and the auction ending early!
Are there any auctions of 4x4's that did run to the end?

The COLOUR's good if you want as late a model as possible as they only seem to come with M registrations, however a hard top would probably be preferred by most. It depends how much you love driving in the sun with the roof down. I absolutely love it, however in winter it's a slight nuisance and I've still not replaced the rear clip!
Edit: However feel free to keep adoring my car Pandarus. Makes me feel warm inside.
Fuzzy, you just know that I love your car!

"I absolutely love it, however in winter it's a slight nuisance and I've still not replaced the rear clip!"
i think i'd like it in the summer but what do you mean by nuisance in the winter? how does the folding roof work anyway? i'm tempted by the clx panda...

It's annoying in the winter purely because of the broken rear clip. At 60mph and over, the rear sunroof starts to flap a bit because it's not held down, and the only way to go over 60 and have the roof behave is to open the drivers window at least an inch. Which means extra noise in the cabin, less heat in the cabin and so on.
I suppose if you replace "and" with "as" in the sentence you quoted you'll get what I mean!
The folding roof comprises of one sunroof sized canvas section at the front of the roof, and one twice as big at the rear. They open separately, and it's a very easy system to use after a few uses. The front roof simply unclips and folds over, as does the rear. It's quite hard to explain using just words, so I'll attach a picture which should make more sense of things.
The material of the roof is generally robust but tends to fray at the sides on the front roof I've noticed. No leaks, though, as there's a pretty clever guttering system.

Hehe. Well I think Steve's got first dibs (although this may be different after Kermit!), followed by Pandarus, so get in line! :slayer:
