2008 Fiat Panda Mamy 1.2

There are few cars that can genuinely be described as motoring marmite and the Fiat Panda is one of them. But when it’s finished in orange, has an orange and black interior and even has selected cockpit trims wrapped in orange, there’s really no mistaking what you’re driving.

This is a 2008 Fiat Panda Mamy 1.2 petrol, paired with the 5-speed manual gearbox, and showing just 56,000 miles from new with only two previous owners.

Recently acquired by a gentleman from Henley-on-Thames who knew the previous long-standing owner, this Panda has clearly been cherished. It comes with an advisory-free MOT until March 2027 and has just received an in-house service prior to sale, including fresh oil, oil filter, cabin filter and air filter.

We have invoices evidencing new front discs and pads and new wishbones, along with a handful of previous MOT certificates and the original pre-delivery inspection sheet. The original handbooks and manuals are also present.

Inside, it’s classic Panda Dynamic.

You get City Mode, Blaupunkt factory head unit, 12v socket, front electric windows and aircon.

The interior has survived remarkably well. The seats are free from stains, rips and tears, while the main touch points remain fresh and retain the little symbols and markings where fitted.

And yes, some of those plastic trims have been wrapped in orange too, just in case you forgot that you’re essentially behind the wheel of a driving satsuma.

Externally, the car presents very nicely for its age. There are decent tyres all round, while the hubcap trims are average and could be replaced if your heart so desires.

HPI clear and two keys.

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely characterful little slice of Italian motoring. Simple, economical, cheerful and gloriously orange.
