Hi Guys n Gals, well "Pippa the Panda" is home !!!!
She's black with a blue-ish interior (very clean) and apparently drives very well according to my better half.
2001, 125900 kms LHD, radio with CD/USB & remote control !!!!!!!
She was Contrôle techniqued (MOT to you and me) yesterday and the only thing I have to do is sort out an imbalance of braking on the rear axle. I'm assuming I need a drum brake kit (comes with wheel cylinders, linings, springs etc) which will cost about £40 from my French internet parts supplier.
Currently the headlights look like "Candles in the Wind" but that'll get sorted.
Better half is VERY HAPPY. I've already started greasing things like squeaking door hinges - no longer.
I can easily see how it is very possible to end up with more than one of these lovely little cars, but for now she needs some TLC which she's gonna get![Thumbs up (y) (y)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
All this for the euros equivalent of £375 !!!!!!!!!
Cheers all
Dave
PS The tyres are soooooh cute. 135 somethings. Given away with Corn Flakes packets apparently?
PPS I forgot, she came with another set of wheels and half decent tyres !!!!
