SPOTTED: DE TOMASO PANTERA GTS

[f1ten]

love the exterior and interior.
i would have one of these in my collection... one day!

[probably chalk]

So much want. My favourite car of all time; spoilers or no spoilers.

I thought there were a lot at le mans classic too. I was in the Tertre Rouge bar when half a dozen left in convoy.

When they were new they didn't have the best reputation but assume the ones that survive are sorted.

I dunno, Rolls-Royce haven't done too badly. Mini's their small premium brand, Rolls the luxury brand - I can see a premium sports brand working in there too.

Wonder if it was the same one (garage in Kent).

Does the garage deal with lots of Morris Minors???
If so, it was my Pantera.
They are great guy's at that garage.
Pantera's are fantastic cars and so easy to drive.

[tommy vercetti]

Gorgeous

Shifty wheels and body kit. A bit like the Countach Anniversary. I'll have a early 'pure' one over that one any day now that is class!

[K321]

here are some i saw a month ago

[DonkeyApple]

Let's not forget one of the few saloons ever made which doesn't suggest the driver sells coat hangers for a living.

This thread... this thread is .. sorry,

Better. These GTSs' are pure, unadulterated, raw, automotive porn.

Thank you Mr. Bird!

[andicog]

Deep dish alloys everywhere !!! Pure porn !

Everyone should have a De Tomaso story..

..here's mine (its a bit 'cool story bro' I know.. but hey.. it excited me at the time).

Sat in a traffic jam in Switzerland many moons ago, brain half switched off. About 20 - 30 cars ahead was a De Tomaso Pantera and I think the driver got sick of waiting, he turned it round and headed back towards me giving it flat-knacker-foot-to-the-boards...

...For a brief instance as it flew past I swear it sounded like a hole had just been ripped open in the earth's crust

[D1bram]

Could anyone not love these? Had a model of a pantera as a young child and thought it was amazing.

[golders]

, plough money in and make some beautiful cars once again

Lovely car you've got there, welcome to PH

[strudel]

I always liked the front of the Pantera, but the rear doesn't look complete unless festooned with the full 80's kitchen worktop.

That Longchamp though, I need that in my life

That's the one! I've been a customer for close on 20 years there (including at one time a Mog) and I was reminding Andrew that my car which they were testing needed to be inched into the brake rollers, when he told me about yours.
