Fiat Panda 1000 I.E. KAT. 4X4, 1988. Six owners, 131,083 km, service books from new.

Some cars you simply cannot ignore. You see them and think: this is it. The ultimate fusion of form and function. The Porsche 911. The Golf GTI. The Mazda MX-5. Classic cars that earn their legendary status through a perfect balance of driving pleasure, usability, and timeless design. And then there's the Fiat Panda 4x4.

I can hear you thinking: a Panda? In that company? Yes. Absolutely. And if you don't get it, you've probably never driven one.

The Panda 4x4 is a car Giorgetto Giugiaro penned in 1980 with a single brief: make it as cheap and simple as possible, but still fun. The result was a box on wheels that looked as though a child had drawn it with a ruler. Straight lines, flat glass, a dashboard consisting of one continuous tray holding everything you need and nothing you don't. The Panda was functional minimalism before that became a marketing term.

But the real magic happened in 1983, when Austria's Steyr-Puch was brought in to add four-wheel drive. The same Steyr-Puch that built the Mercedes G-Class. They took the little Panda, gave it an extra transfer case with low-range gearing, raised the ground clearance, and in doing so created one of the most capable small off-roaders ever made. A car weighing under 800 kilos with the climbing ability of a mountain goat and the fuel consumption of a moped.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 78 photographs including the underside. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through. A timeline from 1 January 1988 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the live auction on our own site. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 10–17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone free for you.

Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We supply the export documents and assist with the registration. The price shown is the full price for collection in Katwijk. We arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per destination beforehand.

Prefer a different colour or specification than this example? Tell us what you are looking for — another Fiat we can often find through our network of marque specialists and collectors, outside the listings. Have one of your own: we buy exceptional cars outright, classic or modern.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
