1989 Fiat Panda 4x4, one of the last remaining in the UK

author: FutureCar Staff    

The Fiat Panda has captured the attention of car enthusiast Moogan, who was so tempted by the vehicle that he bid on it blindly. Despite this being a risky move, Moogan has no regrets as the restoration process has transformed the car into a mechanical masterpiece. The charm and character of the Panda make it a joy to drive, despite its basic features. Moogan fell in love with the Panda 4x4s due to their off-road capability, allowing him to explore places that larger 4x4s cannot reach.

During its first major display at the NEC show, the restored Panda, with the license plate F823 GYC, received an overwhelming response from the crowd. The car became a popular subject for photographs, reflecting how Pandas have touched people's lives in various ways, from daily school runs to memorable holiday trips. The sight of the restored car brought smiles to everyone's faces, especially considering its original state when it was rescued.

The Fiat Panda offers a stylish alternative to the popular 'Chelsea tractor' trend. With its chic design, the Panda proves that you don't need a large, imposing vehicle to make a statement.

For those interested in seeing more rare cars like the Fiat Panda, there will be a display of the UK's rarest cars at the family-friendly Silverstone Festival from August 25-27.

As part of The Telegraph's rarest cars series, the Ford Cortina 1600L Mk3 Estate, one of fewer than 100 left, is also featured.
