Fiat Panda has been purchased!

I have managed to remotely buy our prized 2005 red Fiat Panda! Such a pretty machine. I'm looking forward to drive it. You can see more pictures of it here.

As it turns out I haven't required as much use of my uk contacts services as I thought. I had Dylan and Kerri at D+K mobile servicing take a look at the car to see what I was getting myself into before purchasing. Bradley and Paul at Geneva Motors have been super helpful at dealing with me from stateside. They are even going to hold the car for me until my arrival in July.

Next up, car insurance and securing fundraising venue...

  1. Isn’t that a little too nice. Don’t you have a cap on price?

  2. In 2009 the adventurists changed the rules so cars need to be newer than 2002. I think this was to appease the mongolia government to allow them to import cars. After which they also dropped the amount that you pay for the vehicle. The <1.2L engine size rule still applies, though not for service vehicles(fire engine, ambulances, cargo vans…)

  3. I’m also a 2005 Fiat Panda owner based in the USA who is doing this trek. Have you had any luck finding someone to insure you with a US driver’s license and UK car registration? I’m having a heck of a time finding someone. Thanks from Team Idiocracy!
