The Appeal
Introduced in 1983, the Fiat Panda 4x4 was the first small, transverse-engined production car to feature 4-wheel drive. Over the years, the little hatchback would gain a rather impressive reputation for its reliability, and ease of use, becoming quite a fan favourite.
Later in the production run, Fiat introduced the limited edition Sisley variant, which boasted the likes of metallic paintwork, a bonnet scoop, Sisley details & trim pieces, and more. Today, these little hatchbacks are becoming increasingly rare, with original examples such as this, being rarer still. In addition to showing off its original finish, this example boasts just 3 former keepers, runs & drives without known fault and has plenty of MOT to enjoy.
