Some Italian style for you..! 
Fiat Panda
999cc GLX Fire
5 speed
1992 J reg
Red
56k miles
MOT til April
Excellent condition, bar the problem stated below.
The car is my mate's, and he had a spin in it about a week ago. Having been dazzled by an oncoming car with main beams on, despite going pretty slowly, he lost control and hit a hedge. This had damaged a clip on the front bumper, so it doesnt sit quite right, but isn't a problem. Something in the steering or suspension must also have been damaged, as the car now pulls to the left and the steering feels vague. He's had an ATS guy
have a look at it, who couldn't find the fault. I'm sure any mechanic worth their salt could have it sorted easily.
Once that's done, you've got basic but reliable and cheap motoring.
Fantastic choice of first car, or park-anywhere runaround, with running costs similar to those of a push bike
My mate is a student and hasn't got the funds for sorting the stearing problem or another year's insurance, hence the sale.
Like I say, the car is my mate's, but I'll find out answers to any queries, or pass on details if anyone is interested. Can sort some photos if required.
The car is near Rhyl, Denbighshire, North Wales. 30 minutes from Chester.
£190
NB. A scoob will be faster in the twisties.
