[DeTomaso] If you know anyone it’s for sale

[MARK CHARLTON]

Ede,

I’m with Julian 100% on this one.

My GT40 is quite nice to drive. It has a surprisingly compliant ride, handles extremely well, is blindingly fast etc., but NO WAY would I trade either of my Panteras for one. Especially a Pantera as stunning as yours!

I get the attraction of the GT40, but it is VERY tight inside, uncomfortable when two people are in it (it’s just really small inside) and there is ZERO storage capacity for anything so longer journeys are out. Non-opening windows make daily driving impractical. I do fast drives, runway events etc. in mine (it is so loud that I am not allowed on our local race track (@#$%^%$#@!) In short, get a nice poster and a 1:12 scale model of the GT40, but don’t sell your Pantera for one.

Cheers,

Mark Charlton
