[DeTomaso] UK vintage race Pantera video

[Julian Kift]

It would appear from Terry's note that UK Vintage Racing is not very strict in adhering to modifications beyond those that the car would have been raced with in period.

Video of a guy named Terry Gisborne, who has a highly modified Pantera that he races in some sort of vintage class in England. 



>>>Here is an e-mail I just got from Terry:



 Mike,

I'm having trouble sending mail from my personal e-mail account, so I'm using my business account.



I don't have the VIN number to hand, I'll find it & let you know. The wheel arches (19" wheels) where custom made, as were the side skirts and general all over body blending & shaping. The carbon splitter, rear wing, vents, race seat & interior were designed & built by Reverie Carbon Products. The gearbox was rebuilt & modified by MDV & Phil Peacock; they, also, fabricated a limited slip differential (similar to the one they made for the Audi Le Mans team). The engine was built & modified by MDV; it is due to be further modified by Field Motorsport. The suspension is fully adjustable. The dampers are Ohlins 3 way. The brakes are AP racing. Total rewire by DC electrics. so many modifications it is as far away from a standard Pantera as it it possible to get.



As for parts: the rear right suspension upright was damaged in the crash, so I need another one. I probably won't use a standard Pantera part (even if I could find one), I'll probably have a pair fabricated with bigger (wider) bearings.



Currently, the car is undergoing body repairs; when they are finished I will have moulds taken of the entire body (something I should have done long ago), so I can easily replace body panels in future. When the bodyworks are completed, the suspension damage will be dealt with. Hopefully, it will all be completed before June, so I can race at the Brands Hatch Speedfest on 7 & 8 June.



here is a link to another You Tube clip from the Brands Hatch Speedfest:
