[DeTomaso] Panteras at Tour Auto 2012

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

The Tour de France Auto is going on right now; Stephane Bergeron sent me a 
brief report.   Apparently there are five or six Panteras entered.   I asked 
him if he knew any of the owners besides Bob (who we both know).

He wrote:

 Yes, I know Sevestre with the other red car, I talked to the green car 
driver, Mr Fradin, but yesterday he had an accident, car is destroyed, went 
into a ditch after a curve and was stopped by a tree :<(

The blue one is from Nice, a young guy driving his father's car Driot. 
Clone of De Marino Bruno, but he didn't know him.

The white one , I didn't know. It's a company from Bordeaux ? which is 
restoring 2 cars, GR4 clones.

Finally there rate more and more Panteras  in France :<))

He sent me some photos from early in the event where the cars were on their 
overnight stop; I've put them up here:

Here's an image I found on the internet of the green car, at the same stop:

Great stuff--although I hope the green car can be repaired....
