This car was exhibited by the De Tomaso Drivers Club UK at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Centre, Manchester in August 1990.
It's a De Tomaso Pantera which has a 351cu in Ford V8 engine and was produced from 1971 till 1992. Alejandro de Tomaso started by building a Formula One car which appeared sporadically from 1961 to 1963, and after an unsuccessful attempt to re-enter racing in conjunction with Frank Williams in 1970 he gave up Formula One to concentrate on the road-going models which he had started to manufacture in 1963. A note in the brochure of the event says this about the car:
'The car on show is owned by Chris Statham (one of the very few Northern members). The car has been very customised and is absolutely unique. Chris had the bodywork made to his own styling.'
