Peter,
Panteras by Wilkinson is the official Detomaso distributor in the USA and his website shows the emblem available for $108.
Hope this helps!

How can one be an official distributor of a company, that doesn't exsist any more for nearly ten years now?

Yes it did thats just what I was looking for.
The price seems a bit steep but I'm old enough to remember petrol at 80 cents per gallon! I was on a visit a bit later to Chambersburg when the price of a gallon was going to rise above $1, I thought there was going to be rioting at the time they held it below, and all were happy again, sorry for digressing.
Champ, here in England a new Brough Superior motor cycle has just been launched by the "official Distributor" its cost is horrendous, but the original company closed for business before I was born and I'm 67 now.
Champ, Steve Wilkinson in the U.S and Santiago DeTomaso partner in reproducing OEM DeTomaso parts, from the original suppliers when possible. Santiago, son of the founder in Modena, IT, has all of the company records, most of the original drawings etc and runs a small business there selling such vital parts. Wilkinson does the same here as do a very few others. But none of this is cheap. Many of the original suppliers are gone after 44 years, so differences exist in many of the reproductions- some better, some not-so-much.
And not all parts are available, either NOS or repros. But each year they release as many as the two of them can afford to have built. Factories do not produce onesy-twosie volumes so they have to have 200-or-so made of anything they think will sell, to a VERY limited market. We should support such gallant efforts, methinks.
