It is interesting that one collector in Germany has been buying any 90 Si Panteras that come on the market and, as far as I can tell, now owns four (in addition to the many other De Tomaso cars in his collection):
90 Si #9616
90 Si #9617
90 Si #9625
90 Si #9640
This is significant given that only 40 were built including the crash test car. I would not be surprised that this one wealthy collector's involvement has a large bearing on the recent price increases.
