Panthera
FollowLagoon 440
After Felix was “written off” by the insurers following our mis-adventure in Bundaberg, we (Helen and Ben) purchased Panthera from fellow 2017 Rally participant (and friend) Jim.
Panthera is now based at Fairway Bay, where we are preparing to go on the ICNZ Pacific Circuit Rally in late May
