Hello Simon, glad to hear that the car is surviving. Welcome to the forum.

The register now named "Ex-police" rather than "Panda" is alive and well. See reports on National Rally at Donnington, 2004 NEC Classic Car Show and 2004 MMOC AGm for proof! Contact Ray (see Minor Matters) or email him on pandacarman@aol.com

What can you tell us about your car? Do you know the force, or where it was registered. Presumably a two door saloon? Is it in police colours or has it been repainted?

One problem with answering questions about Pandas is that there is no right answer to many of them - each force used different colour details, different accessories, etc. However, it is usually possible to work out what is right for a specific car.

It's going to cause some confusion as I'm a Simon with a panda too, although more accurately it's my wife's, but then she drives one of my 3 Travellers, and I did most of the work on the car anyway! Also look out on the board for Lynda who has a Panda too.

Look forward to seeing you around. Can you update your profile so we know what part of the country you're in. Best wishes.
