The Appeal

Produced between 1982 to 1990, the Kallista was Panther’s mainstay model during that time, offering affordable performance, sure-footed handling and reliability, wrapped up in a retro-style body. Unlike many similar-looking kit cars of the time, the Kallista was supplied fully built, and employed a purpose-designed steel chassis, aluminium body and Ford mechanicals, with engines options ranging from the 1.6-litre, four-cylinder CVH to the 2.8-litre Cologne V6.
This 2.8-litre V6 model was built in 1983 and is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, offering rewarding driving experiences accompanied by a characterful engine note, coupled to genuine usability. The seller states that the white bodywork, with black wings, needs no attention, and that a new battery has been recently fitted.
The car’s cabin is tidy, with sports seats and wood panelling across the glovebox, centre console and door cappings. The folding fabric roof is complete, and the car is equipped with an external luggage rack and boot-mounted spare wheel that matches the Minilite-style alloy wheels.
This is an opportunity to acquire a well-presented hand-built British sports car that, fitted with the more desirable and powerful V6, delivers an engaging driving experience with inimitable style.
