1989 Fiat Panda fire 750S review from Italy
"Good, simple and inexpensive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Light, light and light. I wonder the way bulbs were prone to blow.
Light switch on the dash melted and had to be replaced, but the whole unit was only about €6.
Distributor cap cracked a few times and was prone to damp.
General comments?
Its essentiality has leaded it to be a greenpeace beetle flag.
Cheerful car and a bit of a motoring icon.
Not for people looking for luxury (of course). I'm going to buy a new Fiat Panda Hobby right now!
