Driving a modified 1980s Fiat Panda 4x4

Welcome to another Car Caves drive episode, where The Late Brake Show explores people's interesting car dens. Jonny chooses one car to take for a spin - this time a modified 1980s Fiat Panda 4x4. In episode 2 we visited Alton in Hampshire, where Vernon Hibberd possesses a Fiat Panda fetish for Fiat Pandas, especially the 4x4 model - the go-anywhere '80s Giugiaro mountain goat.

Vernon has 10 4x4s and a total of 30 Pandas - many of which live in his 'Panda pen' basement storage area beneath a barn. Sadly, we didn't have a huge amount of time to drive the car in between filming the basement and workshop full of Fiats, not enough for some decent off-roading action, however, Jonny managed to enjoy some town, country and back track driving in this modified 1986 mk2 4x4.
