Remember seeing the bodyshell at Stoneleigh in the 80's. Sky blue with a distinctly De Tomaso Pantera shape *ahem*

Was one ever produced?

Would have thought there was a market for a GTS clone nowadays with original Pantera prices getting toward £100K in some instances...

Was another one of those kits that got shown but not produced. Have to say the lack of Pantera clones has always surprised me considering the kit car industry's fixation with aping Italian exotics and the fact you can easily build one with the right engine.

Agreed - got to be a gap in the market there. Far less agro to replicate than a Lambo and far more exclusive to boot - when was the last time you saw a GTS trundling down the road?

Plus I'd hazard a guess there'd be far fewer 'litigious' problems *ahem*
