De Tomaso Pantera.
What to Check Before Buying.
The De Tomaso Pantera pairs Italian styling with American V8 muscle, creating one of the 1970s most distinctive supercars. With fewer than 300 UK-registered examples remaining, these mid-engined exotics are now collectible investments rather than daily drivers. Buyers face challenges including rust-prone steel bodywork, cooling system inadequacies, and the difficulty of sourcing period-correct parts. Given values now reaching six figures for good examples, thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential.
