One of my Pantera's had the fans rewired to a manual switch and for the life of me I don't understand why anyone would do that, or even the rationale to have the second one on a manual switch either.

>>>No, it's a USA '73 L-model (it's not a 1972). It came to the UK with
one-piece bumpers and was modified with Euro-spec bumpers afterwards. It
was loaned to the BBC for them to make the film, and Jackie Stewart failed to
pay attention and didn't turn on the manual radiator fans, overheated it and
blew the engine!!!
When it was in the Jackie Stewart video it didn't have all the GTS decals
etc. on it.
Jackie's personal Pantera was a yellow Euro pushbutton. And it had one
manual radiator fan, the other was automatic. :>)
