If you’ve never driven a Fiat Panda – especially the Panda 100hp or Panda 4×4 – you’re missing out on a whole heap of fun; as an urban warrior and nippy little runaround there’s little to beat it still. So with Fiat are celebrating 30 years of the Panda – and 500,000 sales – with a new limited edition Fiat Panda 4×4 Antarctica – which comes with extra kit and a choice of engines – now could b e a good time to grab yourself a bit of budget Italian fun.

With a name like Antarctica it’s no surprise the only choice of colour for this special edition Panda 4×4 is white, although you do get a black roof, orange detailing and 15″ alloys to break up the white body.

Inside, the Panda gets grey and orange trim with extra kit like a three passenger back seat, privacy glass and a height adjustable drivers seat as well as standard kit like AirCon, elec tric locking diff, mud and snow tyres and bolt on cladding for added butchness.

Engine choices are the  85bhp 0.9-litre TwinAir (cracking little engine) or 75bhp 1.3-litre MulitJet turbo diesel, with both getting impressive official economy of 67mpg and 72mpg respectively (although you won’t come close in the TwinAir).

There will be just 300 Panda 4X4 Antarctica specials, with prices from £14,895 or £229 a month.
