Does anyone have one of these living near to you please? I am seeking a picture of the " Pink " decal, which was found on the sides and tailgate of this Limited Edition. This is no longer available from Fiat and most of the remaining " Pinks " have lost theirs over the years but there must be one somewhere on which at least one of the decals has survived.
Any leads much appreciated. Thank you.

One of these?

Sorry that the resolution isn't very high.
A Google image search images.google.co.uk/images?q=fiat+panda+pink&hl=en shows another car without the wavy lines on the door.
The image search misses this one: www.fischer-auto.de/query/detail.php?car=32042 - the car looks like a shed but the decals are okay and quite clear.
Hope this helps.

Now where else, other than The Backroom, would you be able to get such a rapid, concise & acurate reply!!??
You didn't mention why you wanted the image, but if you were thinking of creating the design, on your Panda & aren't too far from Beds/Herts, I'd be happy to give you the number of a traditional, handpainting signwriter, that could do it.

Indeed, my thanks to you both for the prompt replies.
I was aware of the darkroompeople image but am not sure if the Decals shown are original. They are not the same as those found on the UK "Pinks"
The reason for wanting this picture is that a pink has appeared in my area and I want to assist the new owner in restoring the car, which though cosmetically tatty at this time, is fully roadworthy. I would like to see it stay that way.
Thanks again.

Have just checked the links kindly supplied and find two vehicles with the " different " decal. As one is in Germany and the other in Croatia, I must now assume that this decal is original and that the white " Pink " decal was individual to the UK imports. Progress is being made.
Thanks again.

Thats a coincidence, I saw one of those driving in Chesterfield town centre last Friday lunch time! I dont remember seeing any decals on it, but my eyes were probably smarting from the colour scheme; I just assumed it was a respray job. If I see it again I'll try and get a pic for you..

SC, when you have a spare minute could you see how many Renault 30's are still in the UK?
Thanks.

Too few to come up on my system I'm afraid.

How sad, all rusted away no doubt :-(
Thanks for looking.

I would have thought it a cause for rejoicing that something so grotesque should have ended up where it belongs. Yech!!!!!!
|
Thank you to Rich and Chaz for your efforts. 79 Pinks left in the UK from the original 250, more than I had imagined.
Thanks again.

Hello to Rich 9-3. Any sign of that Pink Panda in Chesterfield yet please ? No need for a picture, just the reg number would suffice.
Understand there is also a Pink in Warwick, parks in a street near the University. Can anyone confirm this please.
Thank you.
|
There is one that keeps appearing near me in stoke - it's up for sale and the owner keeps parking at the side of the road with an ad in the window.
If you still need a picture i will get one next time i see it.

Hello blue_haddock.
Thank you for keeping a look out. I think the car you are referring to, is K62 YRF, parked in Hanley, just down the road from Machine Mart, across the road from the Newsagents. If it is not, would be interested to hear more.
Thanks again, appreciated.
Rgds. Pete.

Not sure of the reg but there can't be two pink panda's that get parked there!
|
K62 YRF - that particular vehicle would of been first registered from the Stoke-on-Trent office, so possibly from the Staffordshire area originally.

There's a pink Panda on eBay at the moment.
Unfortunately it's one of the left hand drive ones that I found earlier.

TIA

I realise this message is more than a year old but couldn't not write. I actually own a pink fiat panda. Mine also still has the white lines and pink written on the sides.
