Pantera on Top Gear circa 1993

Nice find.

I rated it 4 checkmarks too! I just got new batteries... I'm gonna put 1362 on utube too D&D thanks

Nice find HD. I hope you don't mind I changed the title of your thread to get it more attention. You've been looking a long time, I really hope you find that GT5-S soon.

Great find Harry! I had not seen that anywhere before. Hell, I didn't even know QW was on Top Gear before he went to 5th Gear.

Thanks!

This is a classic episode, made more famous by the fact that right after filming the illustrious QW put his foot in it a bit hard and stuffed that beautiful maroon GT5 into the wall on Copse corner at Silverstone.

There was a follow up after the BBC spent GBP50K rebuilding the car. It came back with 180 headers and was in an episode on Clarkson's top 100 (at #40) with him driving it around an airfield. A copy used to be online, but I can't find it now.

Another small note is that the red GTS has a Revson spoiler on the front.

Great find! I enjoyed it. I'd like to see the follow-up with the burgundy Pantera 200.

Michael

Great find indeed! Love that little spoiler on the early car.

I liked his quote that this car is "the business!"

I used to have that video linked from my "Videos" page, but noticed it's been removed. Anyway, I've left the reference on my Video page and will post a new link if/when I find one.
