When did Pandas come with that kind of under bumper skirting,and fog lights?Looks almost custom. |

@herbiefan: These bumper skirts were an extra option, also the air intake what you can see on the photo. |

it's considered a 1982, also the plate...!!! That sunroof appeared in August 1981 for the export markets...! -- Last edit: 2010-01-05 11:51:36 |

There is a Fiat 500 of the late sixties or early seventies in the background parked at the left side... |

No it's not. There's no US-style model year in the UK. Date of First Registration 11 08 1981, means it's from 1981. |

The model year system might be right or wrong. It's not only a US way of thinking (e.g. our Panhard dates from September 1957 but is in all details a 1958 model), and after many discussions on this site it was decided to use this model year idea rather than the actual year... |

@Exiv96: this systematic with the model-years is not US-style. Many european companies did/do the same since decades (IIRC nearly all). So at Volkswagen/Audi the new MY always started after the end of the summer vacations of the previous year. At Volkswagen a bit earlier than at Audi, because the VW-summer-vacations are identical with the school-vacation of Niedersachsen, which are always one of the earliest countries, while Bavaria (which goes for Audi) is always the last country with their summer-vacations. In Germany school-vacations aren't nationwide. |

We use what the maker use. If the car changes in summer rather than in january then we stick to that for identifying the cars |
