chris40 ◊ 2009-01-03 09:45	Well done, Mike ... you'd have thought I'd have remembered Panther from its association with Jaguar, wouldn't you?
DynaMike ◊ 2009-01-03 13:04	Well, you did remember there was some replica around, back then I expected this to be a Panther, and checked in a period (Dutch) auto catalogue. There was not much doubt when I saw those sliding windows...
chris40 ◊ 2009-01-03 18:29	Ah well, if you've access to a catalogue ... I have to rely on memory
