[DeTomaso] La Pantera Bianca coming out of retirement!

[davek]

There was a write-up on this car in one of the Australian car magazines circa 2010. The driver, Kevin Bartlett, was quoted as saying "Unfortunately he (owner, Paul Halstead) didn't have a big enough budget to test and develop it. So we could have done a lot better with it; there was plenty that we could do to it".

Seems to be a common thread in the history of Pantera race cars.

Even so, this car dominated the field in both 1985 Austrailian GT Championship as well as the national sports car series.
