They tend to belong to people with holiday homes here or foreigners who relocated permanently. Theres a surprising number of US-spec Volkswagens in the West. There are lots of Mk1 Twingos all over the country too. "lots" being a relative term of course - I wonder could somebody make a few quid by buying that Dacia and importing & selling in somewhere like Poland etc? Not a bangernomics proposition obviously, but just a thought

Now I know all the estates were built in Indiana anyway, but mine was a RHD US spec estate and privately imported. The US Mail bought them for country areas, so the postman had 4wd and could drive along roadside mailboxes and open the little door from the drivers seat.

There not a lot else to go wrong in the panda, but small things like minor controls, wiper linkage and seat material will have felt the mileage. If they are serviceable, they're textbook bangernomics.

Clean car with a couple of dings and dead headlight washers and fuel/oil temp gauges, but nothing major to sort. Wheel caps in the boot. Cheap tyres will need replacing. I’d ideally have liked an avus grey one, but this ticked pretty much every other box.https://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/audi/tt/used-2001-audi-tt-1-8-coupe-quatt-dublin-fpa-56139833167469
