I think it's 1983 Panda 45 Super. |

If I remember well the 45 Super originally had its side panels completely body coloured. |

Could be bit older Panda 45 Comfort. Something like that: http://www.auto-pub.net/Fiat/Panda_pub_presse/Panda_malice_noire.jpg Let's wait for Electra225  |

Super had plastics also black (I mean not necesary in body color). We are talking only about the plastics or there are some other detials? All "not Super" Pandas had grey bumpers (except some special editions). The mid section is in some unoriginal condition to me. It looks like not painted. I guess these plastics in Panda were made in similar technic to those of old Renault for example - originally white and stained on black/grey (hence they lost color). -- Last edit: 2010-02-28 17:05:30 |

The first series Pandas never had plastic parts on the side panels, it was just painted grey or any other colour. |

Interesting - Super too? Therfore it is not original paint. But about the bumpers I'm personaly not sure are they grey or darker - black. I would vote for black, but... -- Last edit: 2010-02-28 17:38:14 |

Yes, they look black. Therefore it could be a Super, but it seems a bit pointless to me get the side panels painted grey. If it were black, it would hide the rust better... |

1981 Fiat Panda 45, for sure: The head restaints over the front seats are a bit smaller than in 1980. The grey panel became a bit darker in late '82. Panda 30 didn't have a few items standard on the 45. The name confort was not official, and maybe meant a Panda 45 for some foreign market with some options offered at a special price. I know so well these cars because My father had eleven of them changing the cars every six months between early 1980 and 1985. -- Last edit: 2010-02-28 20:14:14 |

At the very beginning, in early 1980 the bumpers and side paint was of a medium-light grey. At the end of 1982 the new super had black bumpers and sides painted in the body colour, but the standard (30 and 45, 34 for export) were as the previous versions in a darker grey, almost black. The car in the picture, as a lot of them, looks lighter, because of the effects of time... P.S. Since 1986 every Panda had the side in the same colour of the rest of the body ! -- Last edit: 2010-03-01 19:10:58 |
