Highlights
- Low mileage go-anywhere Panda
- Solid, complete and ready to use
- Use as is or scope to improve
- Economical and practical 4x4
The Appeal
All wheel drive technology turned Fiat’s Panda into a terrain-scrambling mountain goat. It was a simple but clever idea - a light, inexpensive go-anywhere car to suit Italy’s rural communities.
The 4x4's unusual specification and boxy style also found favour with style-setting city folk. Today rare survivors like this one are popular with enthusiasts. It has been used and enjoyed for its intended purpose but wears its history lightly. There is patina inside and out but this is a Panda that could be used as it is, or improved if you wish.
That impression is supported by the MOT history, which shows it carried an advisory-free test to February 2023. It has been stored and unused since the test. Whether pressed into service as a practical, versatile classic daily or returned to its glory, this is a great project for the right buyer.
