| Much like the classic Fiat 500 from the 1950s and ’60s, the Spiaggia and Jolly versions of which are now standard fare for the international hautevolée between Cap d’Antibes and Portofino and inspire the creativity of their owners, the Fiat Panda 4x4 has become the ultimate winter icon for the European Jet Set. What makes the ‘little bamboo bears’ so likeable on the streets of St. Moritz compared to the mighty Urus’, Bentaygas and Cullinans is that they’re driven by farmers, housewives and ski-lift attendants as well as billionaires and pop stars. When you see a Panda, you never really know who’s passing by. In the end, it’s probably this exciting mix of down-to-earth unpretentiousness and international glamour that makes St. Moritz so unique and manifests itself so charmingly in the Fiat Panda. At the first Classic Driver Panda 4x4 Meeting last weekend, the winter-proof, all-wheel-drive hero was celebrated accordingly. Jan Baedeker
