The Appeal
The Panda 4x4 was a very clever idea: a small, all-wheel-drive car with the usability of a supermini. It was built to service an old Italian need: to keep rural communities mobile on rough roads. But it found appeal across a much wider audience.
Despite its city car origins and tiny dimensions, the Panda’s selectable 4x4 and ultra low gearing were firmly up to the task of going anywhere. The Sisley version saw Fiat link up with the fashion house and lean into the car’s egalitarian coolness. These special edition cars are particularly sought after by enthusiasts for their unique features.
This freshly restored 1989 facelift 4x4 began life is an original factory Sisley. Following extensive restoration in 2023 across the bodywork, interior and mechanicals it is in very good condition. The buyer gets the benefit of all that work and a hugely capable and interesting modern classic.
