07.03.2006 The Fiat Panda Alessi, due to go on sale in the UK in April, is making its London debut at the Ideal Home Show which opens tomorrow

The Fiat Panda Alessi, due to go on sale in the UK in April, is making its London debut at the Ideal Home Show from 8 March – 2 April. This is the first time that the general public and visitors to the famous London exhibition will be able to view the stylish new Panda, before it becomes available in limited numbers at selected Fiat dealerships.

The distinctive style of this innovative concept springs from a partnership between Fiat and Alessi, two world-class brands famed for their contribution to the development of industrial design in Italy. Fiat and Alessi have come up with their own design philosophy which makes their creations stand out from the world of mass market products.

The Panda Alessi will be showcased, alongside the Panda range, for Show visitors to experience at close quarters. In addition, the Panda 1.3 16v MultiJet and Panda 4x4 will be appearing in the driveways of the exhibition’s show homes, demonstrating how adaptable to their environment these award-winning cars are. In particular, Panda 1.3 16v MultiJet, with CO2 emissions among the lowest of any car on sale, and a 65.6 mpg fuel economy average, is in keeping with the philosophy of the ‘Eco’ house designed by the show’s creators.
