The space between De and Tomaso was never in doubt though the use of the
lower case "d" has been spotty even by De Tomaso errr de Tomaso.
The official, legal name of the company is "De Tomaso Modena Spa".

The De Tomaso website refers to the company and the man as "De Tomaso"
both in the English and Italian sections of the site.

Tom Tjaarda refers to his work at "de Tomaso".

Hi guys,
After receiving a suprising number of requests from individuals to get
clarification on one issue, while I was in Modena I cornered Santiago de
Tomaso
to ask him this question:
"How is 'De Tomaso' supposed to be spelled, in the various
circumstances?"
Here's the answer, straight from the horse's mouth.
When you're talking about a PERSON, the last name is spelled thusly:
"de
Tomaso". Two words, small "D", as in "Santiago de Tomaso"
When you're talking about the COMPANY, or the products of that company,
it's spelled thusly: "De Tomaso". Two words, big "D", as in "De
Tomaso
Pantera"
Never 'deTomaso', or 'DeTomaso'.
So there you go. You can all go forth and update your various websites
etc. accordingly. :>)
Mike
