Took #1267 to it's first ever classic car meet in denmark. I guess they like panteras :-).
Motorretro - pantera
This is what google translator got out of the danish editors text on "Motorretros" site:
"Today will be brief because yesterday was long: I have never tried so many different delicious Italian sports cars in such a short time. The event at Herlev yard had expanded repertoire tremendously, and the Italians dominated - including the hybrid class, where an incredibly beautiful Pantera took the palm trees.
As the words begin with the winner of the hybrid class - cars with an engine purchased from another manufacturer. De Tomaso never made another, and Kristian's ultra fine 1971 Pantera took most by storm: it was ridiculously beautiful restored, simply. Insanely great color, work and form - a worthy winner.
It did, however, not take all by storm, for it was also incredibly modified and Original Polizei would stop it immediately: 550 horsepower from a now seven liter large V8? Custom-made rims oversize? Well, me and assessor John also considered a worthy Fiat Dino as the winner, in total contrast was quite original.
But it is hard to resist the impression of a shallow acqua verde wedge shape from 1971, and the craft of the Tomasoen could not put a finger on. So it won - but there were many others who were worthy of mention. And the publicity will come later. Here and now just a congratulations to The Tomasoen - and Claes Falk Toft, who laid the earth, grass and gravel for: An excellent day with a fine array of cars and enthusiasts."
