I bought a backup 4x4 to the P38

Just in case anything goes wrong,,,, which nothing has since buying the P38 3000 miles ago ,,,,and hopefully won't for a while.



:doh: Might be a while though as the plan is to restore it to as new condition.

Horrible Horrible Horrible!

I see you seem to be very fond of Italian cars. Wouldn't mine seeing a pic of the Fiat 500. My Grandad had one painted in Noddy colours which I loved.

Been looking at the pics on your website. Like the 127 Sport. Nice work, but where do you find the time?

I had a Panda 4 x 4 20 years ago. Cost me £1200 new > Drove it for years till it broke then gave it away.
It had twin sunroofs (two bits of plastic wot rolled back) : could sit in a field and blag pigeons through the roof.
Best little offroader I ever had and I've had lots.

I bet in the snow its value would have gone up lol

scrap iron ........... any old scrap iron...........

Thank you. I used to work shifts which gave me a bit of time but only get one day week now since going 9/5. I spent almost 3 years sorting the 127. It's in a private collection now.

The grey 4x4 Panda I sold at xmas is going to a museum in America.

those panda 4x4s are actually brilliant little cars. really looking forward to seeing the end result once you've restored it.

Just wondering if you ever finished the job?

I went to Devils Pit in Bedfordshire a few years back and someone turned up in one. Everyone laughed at it ................until they saw how good it was on easy and medium off road challenges. It obviously couldn't do the really difficult stuff like the modified landies could but it was really impressive.

Panda 4x4s are great,worked in a Fiat dealer years ago and used to test drive these up a steep bank onto a path at the top and back again with no problems. 1000cc FIRE engine is good for over 200000 miles if looked after,(seen 240000 miles on a driving school Uno with same engine). Gear boxes not so good,3rd gear syncro goes. Its also a safe engine ie if the cam belt snaps it doesnt bend the valves! Check the trigger unit in the dizzy as the wires brake also the vac advance units pack up. Maybe i should join a Fiat forum!!! LOL
