1983 Panther Kallista 2.8i “Blue” £25,750.00 Contact Details Debi & David Henshaw [email protected] [email protected]
‘Blue’ is probably the best known Kallista in the U.K. and is certainly the one that has benefitted from the largest financial investment which enabled it to gain this honour. Since acquiring the car, the current lady owner has ensured that all necessary care and attention has been lavished on ‘Blue’ to ensure it was maintained in a truly fabulous condition. However due to a house change and loss of some garage space Debi has asked if the club would handle the marketing of the car. Debi will be happy to respond, via email to any interested parties and give any information requested if it is available. The new custodian of this most spectacular example of the Panther Marque must see this extraordinary automobile as the opportunity to acquire a rock-solid future investment, whilst having the joy of regularly displaying this award-winning classic in the years ahead.
