1997 - 2001
I shared a Fiat Panda "Dance" with my sister it had a 900cc engine, and it was in red ("Ferrari red"), manual. It had rainbow colour deckchairs for seats, and when I went cruising down southend seafront I was the man! And it had a go faster stripe down the sides.
Some interesting stuff (not my panda though)... This was all given to me by a friend - cheers!
