Rolf, welcome to the forum. What is your VIN? The company records have been acquired by a gentleman in Europe and his ask is quite high. Alternately another gentleman has a selected list of records at a more reasonable price.
all the best

see an older thread on build sheets: https://pantera.infopop.cc/top...angusta-build-sheets
Great Rolf, There is nothing on Provamo (and there was nothing on any of the former registries either QV500 and Mangusta International). I have sent a note to my contact. Will keep you posted . In the mean time, care to share some information on you and your car? How did you find it? What shape is it in?
Denis
Beautiful car, Rolf. 8ma534 is definitely an early car, one of the first ~dozen known to still survive. Would love to see more pictures.
Btw, the red looks great. But in case there is no luck tracking back thru the first 3 owners on paint color, the next way is to look under door panels for glimpses of original overspray. But at least, the 'as born' color is really not that important here- (Provamo has an 'ad' that lists my car as once Yellow, and though I love yellow i went back with red only because it was always the red (I've been over every millimeter of the car naked, it was never yellow...darn!).
If someone starts hinting that they have a build sheet that shows incredible detail about special components on the car--be careful to get a guarantee on the information first before paying for the 'proof...' I'd heard a story once from someone I trust...Lee
Rolf, here is what I got back.
“Hello Denis,
I do not have any documents concerning 534 but I am aware of its history. 534 spent its whole life in Switzerland. The original colour was red. 534 was imported in 1969 to Switzerland. Approximately 1973 it was purchased by Hans Keigel. Keigel changed the colour from red to black. 534 was running on Webers. The condition of 534 during the ownership of Keigel deteriorated. On October 2017 Keigel sold it to another Swiss whose name I do not know. I also do not know if the new owner restored it or not in the meantime. The only thing I know is that he changed the colour back again to red.
Denis, if you have more information that what I mentioned above, I will be very glad if you le t me know. Particularly interesting for me is where is 534 today.”
Rolf, get in contact with the Swiss Pantera Club. I doubt they would have paperwork but certainly they will have contacts and ressources
All the best
Denis
Great car Rolf, and welcome to the forum. I also fitted Webers to mine but transferred back to the original 4bbl. Did you re-locate your alternator down low at the front? For your information it is possible to run a jackshaft (but not the original) so you can have alternator and A/C compressor as in a standard car if that's what you wanted. You have to fabricate but quite a simple process if you want details.
And if you were offered the build sheet from "Mr Vito" for €750 you're lucky, he quoted me €3,000 a long while back!!! But not sure he's had many takers. I too was told of certain "special features" for my car that Lee mentions. I didn't proceed.
Good luck with your car, it's beautiful.
Best

(Denis, you are unbelievable! )
I purchased 8MA1066 2 years ago after a 3500 hour restoration in Montreal. Car was disassembled 32 years ago by 2nd owner in Toronto and was in boxes in a heated barn. Owner planning on the resto was killed in an auto accident and his widows wouldn't sell car until..one day she said yes. Car has 25,000 miles on it. Won 1st in class ar Greenwich Concourse and won 3rd place this year at Audrain. Would love to get car's history..if anyone knows about it!! Will post pix soon...
Warren, I've known the car and followed it since 2009. Unfortunately, the history of the car has been lost in the transactions. Yes, this car is an amazing Pebble Beach quality restoration.
unfortunately there is not much on 8MA1066

804- Not much info. It's listed in the registry as being sold out of So Cal in 2010. The pics show red paint and a high quality restoration. The custom wheels are out of place but the rest of the car looks immaculate.
Pebble Beach level restoraton.
Be sure you know what you're looking at re replacement wheels before you write a big check. Early fronts & rears were magnesium while some later ones were aluminum that look very similar! Nothing wrong with either BTW but the mags are noticably lighter.
