Dixie,

My other car is a De Tomaso, sadly not a 'goose'. They cost far more money than I had at the time.

They're not to everyone's liking in the looks department but are an acquired taste IMO.

My cars photo's are not that great so here's a shot of a nice black Longchamp GTS;



and a Swiss car in the same colour as mine;

It's 'cos he doesn't really know what it's worth and the price will adjust depending on how 'posh' you sound on the phone hehe

... and the answer to the question the OP posted is NO because if I had the money to buy that it would be staying in my garagebiggrin
I've loved those and Panteras ever since I can remember after having a 'Corgi' model of the Mangusta and seeing/hearing a Pantera accelerate away from the traffic lights beside me back in the '70s cloud9

My friend had a brand new Pantera in the mid-70s, AND a Ferrari Dino 246, AND a Maserati Bora.

"Need a ride home Graham ?". "Yes Pleeese!" hehe

Something about late 70's supercars all look similar but absoloutly gorgeous. Matchbox gave me all my dreams about owning them. Thats probably why i only dreamt about owning a wedge when i seen one burbling at the side of a road when i was about 23.

Yup Matchbox cars and massive posters of Lambos and the like made my dream car list for me!

STUNNING bow

Is it just me or do the words "De Tomaso" just have something about them?

OK, you persuaded me;

I drove mine back through France on it's Belgian plates although most of it's life it lived in Palermo, South Italy - home of the Sicilian Mafia!

At I think one of the early Virginia Water, Surrey PH meets

At Goodwood early one Sunday Breakfast meeting.

With the original Ford parts bin Granada headlights (horrid). I took a moulding of the later Longchamp GTSE front bumper which used Ferrari sidelights & indicators and Audi Ur Quattro rectangular quad headlamps.
My fibreglass man Nick is the very best in the land out of Bishops Stortford.


Can anyone guess who's parts bin these rear lamps came from? (Alfa 2000)
At Ally Pally classic car show a few years ago
Next to the very last registered RHD Pantera GT5S, purchased new in 1989 and collected a year later and still owned by Colin Bradshaw out at J7 M40.


Colin believes these cars were made to be driven - hard. He's clocked over 300 laps of Goodwood, lapped the Nurburgring and camp's out at Le Man's for the past 20 years.
Yes please.
The very last De Tomaso Longchamp GTS designated GTSE as it was one of the final six bodyshells built up between 86-89 and one of only a handful of spyders. This magazine shot of the De Tomaso Owners club chairman Ric Lee's car lives a mile or so up the road in Chelsea and is currently for sale.

Enjoy
