The Attractions

In the 1950s, Ferruccio Lamborghini and Gianni Agnelli had an idea in common: they wanted to offer the rural Italian population the chance to work and move freely, both in the fields and on the narrow, bumpy country roads. To meet these needs, new efficient and relatively cheap tractors and the Fiat 500 were born.

In the 1980s, Fiat decided to offer a vehicle capable of meeting both needs. The highly popular Panda hatchback was in fact equipped with a four-wheel drive system of the type usually employed by tractors, sports cars and Land Rovers, resulting in a real motorised mountain goat, extraordinarily practical and capable.

For those who wanted an extra touch of style, the 'Sisley' version was created, with very special features. Today, these limited edition models are particularly popular with collectors, who will certainly appreciate this example.

This Panda has recently been completely repainted in the correct metallic dark green colour. The beige interior is largely original and retains the Sisley equipment, which will certainly please enthusiasts. The mechanics have also recently received attention, such as the replacement of the water pump and an overhaul of the braking system.

The seller informed us that this car runs properly and is very pleasant to drive, and that it has been carefully maintained. If you're looking for an unstoppable car for your country home, a really special hatchback or a youngtimer with which to attend rallies and weekend events, this beautiful Panda certainly deserves your attention.
