I'm pretty certain that Per Karlsson's narrow body 1987 GTS has the fat
brakes.

Thomas

Yes it can be that all panteras of that period were so equipped,and i hope
we can sort it out.Chuck Melton, kindely offered to give space on his
registry,for pictures of the different types of factory brakes,so that those
who are unfamiliar with the look of the different factory brakes,can
recognise what their car have.I will contribute with pictures of the factory
big brakes,and the solid rotor small brakes, as found on the early
panteras.Hopefully some of you can contribute with pictures of the later
small brakes with wented rotors,and the gruppo 3 and 4 for the competition
cars  :)
 
 Best regards
