Hi, all who responded to my query re 02290. Confusion re dates arises from the fact that you guys in the US date a car by its "model year" whereas we in the UK go by the date of actual manufacture. Our car is stamped Dicembre 1971, which is self-explanatory. Glad to hear these early, pure Panteras are appreciated for what they are.
Thanks, Michael Shortt, for that snippet of history. Do you have a record of vendor or purchaser? We would love to get in touch. Maybe the Club keeps a database of chassis numbers linked to members` names and addresses?
Does anyone know if our car should have a horizontal grille over the engine, adjoining the rear window? If so, where can we get one? Ditto tool kit, driver`s handbook, anything else out there?
Best to all,
Douglas.
PS: We have no intention of restoring our car - that would be a crime. When it needs repainting, will certainly consider going back to the original green, but it`s a lovely shade of red...
