Garage Italia Customs continues to rework mythical cars of the past. This time, after the experiment with the Fiat 500 Spiaggina, the choice fell on the classic Fiat Panda of the '80s of Gianni Agnelli, the one he drove during winter travel in Switzerland. The car was waiting for him on the slopes of St. Moritz. He arrived by helicopter and found his Panda waiting for him. L’Avvocato, who died in 2003, was known not only for his business flair, but also for his eccentric sense of aesthetics, and this is the aspect of the last project of Garage Italia. If in its new version the vehicle keeps the square profile outside and a gray-spatial look with black and blue stripes, the real renovation is inside. Here everything is made special by a selection of vintage fabrics from one of the favorite textile producers of the legendary mogul, Vitale Barberis Canonico. Digging inside the VBC archives, they found a fabric that recalled the original interiors in the colors, and that at the same time approached the shades of blue and black, which are the family colors with which Gianni connoted many of his cars. Take a look at the pictures below to see the result!
