The Panda 4x4 fever goes up…to the mountains (Auto Motor und Sport - China, 02-2020)

No doubt, the Panda 4x4 first series has become officially a “must have” among the european (and not only) petrolheads. In 2016 I bought my first one, a 1985 4x4 among the latest pre-restyling version, because I was convinced that it would have become something cool. It was designed by Giugiaro, the 4x4 was the first 4 wheel drive citycar to move easily on the mud, on the snow or on the gravel: so tiny but very agile! The proof of its success is the number of examples sold in 20 years of production.

Two years later, in 2018, I bought a second 4x4 the so called “Edizione Limitata” (limited edition) produced before the restyling of 1986 in 5000 pieces. Thanks to this car, during a year long “nut and bolt” restoration I’ve met many other collectors that shared my same passion and the same thought: we see this little square box not only as a daily citycar but as an icon of the ‘80s and 90’s. It’s hard to find good samples, especially of the 4x4 because these cars were used mainly to work, especially in the mountains, so the condition of the few cars still alive is generally bad.

But the Panda love was definitely in the air, the fresh air of the mountains: last December with other collectors we organized the first “Panda meeting” in the glamorous St. Moritz in Switzerland; thanks to the partnership between Classic Driver, Laurusmiani and the municipality of St. Moritz, we had been the first to pay homage to Mr. Gianni Agnelli, President and owner of Fiat at the time, in the place where he used to spend time during the winter driving his many Pandas!

People arrived from Paris, Milan, southern France, drove their 4x4 for hundreds of kms to be there: I had the chance to show mine for the last time in Europe, before shipping it in the USA where new collectors will drive the first 4x4 1st series imported in the States! Beside mine, there were other limited editions, as the “Val d’Isere”, the “Country Club”, the “Sisley”, one that drove from UK to Mongolia during the Mongol Rally and the two cars by the major of St. Moritz! Each owner had its own special relationship with its Panda, its own way to drive and collect but we are all believe in the potential of this democratic masterpiece, appreciated both by billionaires and housewives.

Thanks to Classic Driver and Andrea Klainguti for the images
