1994 FIAT PANDA FIZZ
The Fiat Panda is now in its third generation. The first generation
Panda was introduced in 1980, and was produced until 1986, when it
underwent several changes. From 1986 until 2003, it was produced with
only a few changes.
In January 1986, the Panda received a substantial overhaul and a series
of significant mechanical improvements. Most of these changes resulted
in the majority of parts being changed and redesigned, making many of
the pre-facelift and post-facelift Panda parts incompatible between
models. The 652 cc air-cooled 2-cyl engine was replaced by a 769 cc
(34 bhp) water-cooled 4-cyl unit, and the 903/965cc by a 999cc (45 bhp,
50 bhp (37 kW) in the 4x4) unit. Both new engines were from Fiat's new
Fire family of 4-cylinder water-cooled power plants with a single
overhead camshaft. The rear suspension was also upgraded, the rear leaf
springs being replaced by a more modern independent suspension system
using a rigid rear axle (known as the 'Omega' axle) with a central
mounting and coil springs. The 4x4 retained the old leaf sprung set-up,
presumably to avoid having to redesign the entire 4WD system.
Improvements were also made to the interior and the structure. The body
was strengthened and fully galvanised on later models, virtually
eliminating the earlier car's strong tendency to rust. The rear panel
design was also revamped to include flared arches that mirrored those of
the front wings, replacing the un-sculpted style seen on earlier
models, and the doors received a slight redesign with the earlier car's
quarter light windows being removed and replaced by a full width
roll-down window.
Fitted with the 999cc FIRE engine, (Fully Integrated Robotised Engine),
the Fizz is surprisingly lively, producing 45bhp in an instant
fashion. Quiet and remarkably economical, due to the simple single
point fuel injection, the model offers very low running costs but
maximum reliability and tremendous fun.
The example offered here has covered just 3,232 (three thousand, two
hundred and thirty two) miles from new, in the hands of a single lady
owner. The car comes complete with full service history and all previous
MoT certificates in support of the very low miles.
