Third part :
We have never denied that our car, the very first original factory De Tomaso Pantera Group 4 chassis 2263, had been stamped by the factory with a new number 8263 in 1979, when it was converted to a road car for the German importer.
We have kept that chassis number 8263 on the car today, because it is part of the history of the car and it would have been a nonsense to erase it.
That said, it is important to understand that 2263 did not have any chassis number stamped in 1972, but only had two unique riveted chassis plates to identify it.
The Pantera Group 4 had been officially introduced to the press on the 31st of January 1972. The car used for the official presentation was 2263. We have found professional pictures taken that day at the factory.
