A Small Car with a Big Personality
Alright, gather ’round, car enthusiasts, because I’ve got a delightful little gem to talk about today. It’s not a Ferrari, it’s not a Lamborghini. No, it’s something much more charming and, dare I say, practical—the Panda 4×4. Yes, you heard me right. The Panda 4×4, a car that’s as fun as it is functional, and an absolute treasure for those who appreciate the finer quirks of automotive history.
Let’s start with the interior. This Panda is decked out in special black fabrics with red stripes, including the door panels. It’s got that classic 80s vibe, like something out of a retro arcade game. It’s charming, it’s quirky, and it’s just what you want in a car that’s more about personality than pomp.
Under the bonnet, we’ve got a 4-cylinder 999 cc engine delivering a modest 50 horsepower. Now, I know what you’re thinking—50 horsepower? That’s less than a lawnmower! But bear with me, because this little engine is perfectly suited to the task. The Panda weighs in at less than 900 kilograms, meaning it darts around the city with an agility that modern cars can only dream of. It’s like a caffeinated squirrel, nipping through traffic and slipping into parking spots with ease.
Back in the day, the adverts proudly proclaimed, “The Panda 4×4 starts where others stop having fun.” And they weren’t wrong. Fitted with Pirelli winter tyres on 4.5-inch rims, this thing grips the road with an enthusiasm that’s almost endearing. Mud, snow, gravel—throw anything at it, and the Panda just keeps going. It’s a plucky little terrier of a car, always ready for an adventure.
The example we have here is in the special colour ‘Bianco 210’, and it’s undergone a thorough conservative restoration. What does that mean? It means they’ve kept as many original parts as possible, only replacing what was absolutely necessary. The body has been lovingly restored and polished to a shine, the underbody treated and refurbished but still original. Even the two sunroof bonnets have been brought back to their former glory, and the special version decals have been meticulously reconstructed.
This particular Panda’s engine has clocked about 100,000 original kilometres. It’s not fresh out of the box, but it’s got plenty of life left. And when you get it up to a cruising speed of 130 km/h, it feels like a proper little rocket. Well, maybe not a rocket, but it’s got a decent turn of speed for what it is.
The photos, as you’ll see, tell the story of this Panda’s condition better than I ever could. It’s a unique opportunity for fans and collectors alike. Finding another example like this one is going to be a tall order.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a car with character, a car with charm, and a car that’s just downright fun, the Panda 4×4 is it. It’s a small car with a big personality, and I can’t help but love it. It might not be the fastest or the most powerful, but it’s got heart—and sometimes, that’s all you need.
