Condition
Four-owner Italian market car. Restored at the factory in 1993 and converted to Group 3 specs. Has since done the Tour Auto and in 2015 the engine was rebuilt. The paint is old but shows reasonably well. Lightly scratched side windows. Very good interior with light general wear. Tidy and lightly used underneath. Not a full ground-pounding Group 4 Racing Pantera but still very cool, very fast and a great event car.
Market commentary
Neither fish nor fowl, this Pantera is somewhat typical of Panteras' treatment with updates, performance improvements and go-fast boy racer development. The consignor seems to have put great weight on the utility of the historic racing modifications and development and in Europe that may have more effect than in the States where this Pantera would be viewed in an entirely different light and for which even the declined offer would be viewed as unduly generous.
