SALES STOCK // Panda 100HP

A very presentable, enthusiast owned and straight little 100HP panda.
The condition of the car is a credit to its previous owners and the common repairs you might worry about with these cars have all been addressed.

- 114k Miles
- Masses of service history, (paper form, self services and stamped)
- Enthusiast owned (all still a part of the 100HP owners groups & followers)
———————
£3750

Fully serviced and 12 months MOT for new owner //
Available within 10 days // Leicestershire collection or delivery nationwide available.
———————
We haven’t gone ‘FULL FETTLE’ on this car however we have done a fair amount of work to get it back to spec, including but not limited to:

- new clutch kit, fork and box seal
- service, cambelt, waterpump & thermostat
- refurbed wheels and new tyres
- new shocks, springs, bump stops, drop links, wishbones, spring mounts and fitting hardware
- replacement colour coded bonnet
- headlight refurb
- Most importantly: checked, underside washed and corrosion treated the shell and suspension components with our range of Bilt Hamber anti corrosion waxes.

Before our ownership:

- seats refoamed and in great condition
- corrosion has been cut out and dealt with prior to our ownership to a good DIY standard.
- boot handle replaced
- leather gearstick gaitor and gear cap
- wiper arms replaced

Time to thin the fleet down and let one fly the nest, this was intended as our courtesy car but it’s probably too good for that purpose and I’d hate to see it end up in poor condition.

The car could use some time spent on the cosmetic’s such as a machine polish, spoiler repainted and plastic trims cleaned and treated but this does give someone the opportunity to buy one in good condition at a lesser cost, we can of course add any services to the sale price with some discount.

Tom’s 100HP // Visit 3

This car has had a few visits for Fettling, unfortunately mechanical woes have always held off the ‘finesseing’ side of the project but we’ve made some serious progress on the car over the years.

First visit was about 3 years back when it came in to sort the underside and rusty sills - it’s still looking really good considering it hasn’t had a yearly top up.

Second visit was to replace an engine (which the first replacement engine was supplied faulty 🫠)

Third visit is:

- Space savers on = Wheels being refurbed back to stock silver
- mechanical & suspension check over.
- underside strip down & wash.
- underside anti corrosion top up.
- KW coilovers fitting and setup
- driveshaft replacement, seal and gearbox oil
- Annual service
- Engine mounts were shot and as it had a powerflex dogbone mount insert, this was being exacerbated.
- Brake system overhaul & calipers painted
- headlights restored
- Full Fettle cold Intake system fitted.
- Rear Wheel bearings

The first milestone of many 🫡

It might not look a big number in a world of automotive giga-influencers and YouTube stars, but every one of you has made one tiny thought in my head a reality and with it, a thriving community.

I’ve made countless friends for life, business relationships and experiences, from nothing and without you lot, it would have remained a dream.

2027 will bring meet ups, workshop open days, road trips and so much more.

I’ve got big dreams to chase for this humble little business so please continue to show your support as it means so much.

1 year check up // What does year of daily driving do to a car after a resto?

Pre winter inspection, underside wash down and corrosion proofing top up.

Exactly a year after Ashley’s car was mini-resto’d we revisit it for some final fettling, a 12 month check up and some much needed preventative maintenance.

We’ve got a host of jobs to complete which include but aren’t limited to:

- underside strip down and deep clean
- underside anti corrosion top up (Bilt Hamber)
- mechanical work such a sad replacing a driveshaft, gearbox fluid refill.
- Exhaust works: repair mid pipe where flexi has stuck the floor and improve clearance by ‘tucking’ it up out of the way as far as possible & fitting a Raggazzon Sports backbox.
- completely replace all OEM coolant hoses with egr racing hoses.
- install an OMP strut brace
- Slightly lift engine and gearbox to gain more clearance.

More to come on this!

Take a seat… Any seat.
I’ve got so many Panda 100HP seats It’s now basically a really uncomfortable auditorium.

We tend to keep any good seats, usually passenger seats that have little wear, then break the worn drivers seats down to their frames and build up ‘new seats’ to make a matching good set.

Anyone who’s driven one of these in their usual collapsed form will realise how terrible they can be, so this is how we get our sale car interiors looking as fresh as possible.
