Also the Qashqai behind left its lights on. Someone will return to a flat battery...

It was HUGE....... had to get a bank loan actually. 😔

Finally someone bought it. A business called Panda Shack, and he’s going to swap the engine and sell it on I bet. Specialist in Pandas obviously…

It was wrapped in yellow and green as an estate agents pool car. They forgot (or on purpose!) to remove the wrap from the badge

The story of the badge… this was a pool car for an estate agents. It was wrapped in their yellow and green corporate colours and logo. They didn’t remove the yellow wrap from the badge! I like it

The Panda is gone. Horrid weather for photography of the new whip… bear with me.

Even better looking without a rear wiper as mine was. I really did have my favourite spec, and then sold it..... better to have loved and lost though.... (I miss it).

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

yep. Would love to buy that. It does mention it's a verification prototype. Makes sense to spec ALL the UK market features, such as AC and sunroof, to test them all. Radio would've been sensible to test surely?! This is how a Coupe should look, those wheels and that colour.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I know all about that one... it was in Car and Classic site also! It is fantastic. I cannot fathom why a pre-production prototype would be RHD and located in the UK though. It might be a verification prototype I guess, for RHD markets? UK certainly liked these in period!

LOL. At this stage, I swear European manufacturers are simply parody accounts of themselves. Who kidnapped the real ones? Bentley people, blink if you need rescuing... we are here for you.

Having said that, this has always been something I wanted to try..... with a light enough battery perhaps. He does point out the brakes are awful at the end of the video!

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Cool.... but... as a DIY bike builder myself, the advice is to NEVER use a bike with rim brakes. Wholly ineffective for the extra weight and power. Disc brakes only for safety please.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I say sold- it’s in progress…

000

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It’s sold… being picked up next week by a breaker of Pandas. Want me to cancel? I actually know of this channel… let me know asap.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Wheels are refurbished! Has MOT and was a runner until a suspected valve spring has given up on cylinder 3. Will require the head reconditioned or a replacement engine….

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Anyone want a non running Panda 100HP? You’ll need a truck to collect and it’s in deepest western point of Cornwall. Roof box not included.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Compression on cylinder 3. Game over… I think I lost a valve.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I think I got caught by that same guy, he's just engagement farming.... posts nonsense rage-bait. Don't engage! He thanked me for fuelling his engagement!!

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

But this is what I took out of that cylinder. That electrode must’ve gone somewhere….?

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Why is anyone liking this post!! It’s not good news. I can’t afford to fix it.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Yeah I don’t think those bits of metal are supposed to be on top of my piston…

100

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Yeah. Now car-less. Swapped a reasonably reliable Yeti for this 😝

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

RIP Panda 100HP engine. It was nice knowing you for those short 4 weeks. Unexpected items in cylinder number 3….

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I drove it about 5 miles like this… but yeah, next step is inspect the bore.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

So this spark plug came out of cylinder 3 on my Panda. I think that’s it gentleman. I no longer have a functioning car.

100

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Looks like previous owner didn’t service it…

000

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Cylinder number 3…. possibly game over. Other 4 were fine.

100

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

£166 for plugs and coil packs. Brand new. Wild! Hope it’ll do the trick

100

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Worth changing the spark plugs first?

000

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Going to try new spark plugs and hope for the best…

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Injection system… right? The injector light always flashed worryingly too long after starting it.

Lee Walton @eclat521.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

The 100HP broke down. Misfire on random cylinders…. Oh dear.

youtu.be/JSdEtQ9UK80?... Well this is a gem for car spotting. FOTU period. I was learning to drive that year and have vivid memories. Very dull video which magically becomes interesting more than 30 years later!

I really hate all the cars in this new one. Hate them. Best part in my professional opinion is the arm hair on the main character. 😂 The hair models/physics in general are astonishing.

The Mini had a sticker from a dealer in my original home town. Lived there until I was 12months old. Dealer still exists and sells Vauxhall/Fiat now.

Forgot to point out mine is the Panda. 🐼

While abroad, I’d almost forgotten (although the Queen 🪦 reminded me) just how insane and disproportionate the news coverage of royal family antics is in the UK. This week’s nonsense is indeed of ZERO interest to me or pretty much everyone?!!

Zen motoring is back. ❤️ Forget right wing American propaganda about London/UK. Watch this and learn what the real London is all about. Also brilliant for anyone learning to drive… youtu.be/Lj2aaiorE3A?... h

Front end is a bit bashed up, with broken sidelights and left headlight.
