A friend and fellow Pantera owner has an identical TR6 in exceptional condition that he loves, and it's quite beautiful, I must admit. My 53 year old entry is my early '72 De Tomaso Pantera (built late '71) that I've owned for approximately 30 years. Coincidentally, my next door neighbor has a '73 Pantera that he bought new in '73 for about $9800. My car was barely driveable for the first 20 years with so many issues and overheating problems within the first 10 or so meters. When I bought my Jag XKR in 2013, I just gave up driving the Pantera altogether. A couple of years of it just sitting in my driveway forced me to make a decision to either get rid of it or finally make it the car I always hoped it would be. After four years of modification and restoration, it is now a luxurious, ferocious beast that I drive every weekend with few hiccups.

Hilly10, your TR6 looks lovely. It appears we are following similar paths...Edited by hilly10 on Tuesday 30th April 14:30
My first car which was only 6 years old when I bought it!
If it still exists, it will be 50. That's scary!
I loved that car and had a lot of adventures in it. Shortly after that photo was taken it 'failed to proceed' (not for the only time!)
