Does anyone know anything about the Natwest Pantera racecar? Owners? Location? VIN? Year?

Peter,
The car is Australian, commissioned by Paul Halstead who owned a DeTomaso franchise, built by Barry Lock circa 1983 - 1985. Tube frame, fiberglass body, Hewland transaxle, 2160 pounds (the minimum allowed by the class rules in 1985). The car's first driver was Kevin Bartlett.
The car was the duck's guts back in its day.
for more information see Pantera International magazine, issue 125, page 36.

Thanks, George. I know about Halstead, but I had no idea he had built a race car. Very interesting.
I got excited when I saw the photos because the rear license plate opening is the wider style indicative of a 9000 series Embo car. If it did start life as a late model Pantera, I would love to add it to the registry. Do you have any idea who owns it now?

No idea at all my friend. You might post that question on YouTube for the guy who up loaded the video.

I want a GT vented hood like that for my sleepy ol' cat...
I have a feeling it is in Australia still, as I hear things about it from time to time
