Fun little article in Hagerty news

Post by AbnJensen »

I ran across this today and thought it was fun. Any awareness this side of the pond is good from my perspective!

Not sure if someone has already referenced the article..apologies if I am duplicating.

The article needed more mention of, and pictures of, DeTomaso Panteras...

Still, a fun article!

I am trying to track down my old Grifo, reg HFW 416D. According to DVLA it has not been taxed since 2000, so it in a barn somewhere in Kent im guessing. It was owned by Ringo Starr. It had a great engine, Chevrolet 327 - as used in the 541S V8 . I prefer hard tops, so the Jensen wins out here for me :D
