Trying to find a narrow body early car wasn’t easy . I’ll try and get some better photos next time .

Funny to think his car and my car would have been new at the same time . Not sure what kind of establishment you’d have expected to see both these parked outside in 1973 :lol:

Hi

Interesting finding Pantera on here, because the pantera fraternity have benefitted from Porsches drive to get some tyres made with the P7 range. the 285/40R15 P7 that fits the front of the last of the panteras was a Porsche rear, and for the pantera it matches nicely with the countach Rear. the 225/50R15 P7 is a Porsche tyre. fortunately back in 2023 i manged to ge Pirelli to make a 285/50R15 P7 for the rear of Pantera.

they are all listed on here

https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirell ... to-p7.html

what is important for you guys is to be careful and not mix up the 285/40R15 P7 with the 285/50R15 P7. there is a big difference in diameter as you can see on the dimensional data on that web page.

285/50R15 P7 should be coming back into stock next year.
