De Tomaso Pantera SI

Apparently there exists a hierarchy among the super car dealers of Japan. If so then unusually named Bingo Sports must be somewhere near the top of the heap.

Well established and with locations in Tokyo and Nagoya, they always have a good selection of new and vintage blue chip models. Among the Mclaren F1, 288 GTO, F40, a De Tomaso Pantera SI makes a case for itself as one of the rarest of Bingo's current stock.

The SI represented the last of the long running production of the Pantera. Launched in 1990 at the height of the super car boom before reality bit. The recession that followed ensured that only 41 examples of this last iteration of an iconic car made it out of the Italian Modena factory.

The new car had very heavily revised underpinnings and with a new Ford 5 litre V8. The exterior was almost entirely changed to drag the old Pantera in to the early nineties. Frankly you can find information about the SI by clicking here.

This Japanese owned automobile is now in Nagoya at Bingo's exclusive classic showroom.

Bingo state that it's a 1992 model and has only covered 17,000 km and is in perfect condition mechanically and cosmetically. The photos certainly do it justice, looks completely new. Finished in yellow and with a black leather interior.

It makes a stunning proposition but at what price? You'll have to contact the dealer for that information.

Luckily De Tomaso don't usually command excessive cost, mainly because people still think they are a bit rubbish and as far as i know they were not terribly, terribly expensive when new.

If you're a Pantera fan and you haven't got an SI yet then get on to this one and start negotiating. Click below for car Pictures.
