Equipment
Campagnolo alloy wheels, roll bar, fire system, Sparco seats, Aeroquip plumbing, MSD ignition, cloth upholstery.
Condition
The prototype for the 30 or so Group 3 Panteras, factory built. Restored in the mid-1990s and historic raced in Italy since. Some paint cracks and blemishes. Orderly and serious but shows use and age; apparently not used since 2007, but with a fairly recent engine service.
Market commentary
Although in need of thorough freshening and safety checks this Pantera in rarely seen Group 3 configuration offers its new owner a lot of performance for the money. It was offered by Bonhams at Spa last May with a reported high bid of Euros 80,000, making its result here reasonable compensation for waiting nine months and a healthy margin over most Panteras reflecting its history and race prep.
