*****PLEASE BE AWARE: Majority of the sellers on eBay aren't listing the correct and specific released year of the vehicle but rather assuming  and listing a vehicle simply by what's stamped on the base of a model. There are specific year released with a certain detail which differentiate each specific year released version.

It appears almost all sellers are falsely selling by what's stamped on the base which make it all FIRST RELEASED model.

Also with almost all incorrect details of a model.*****

The Matchbox Pantera was discontinued in 1981 and replaced by the Rover 3500. At around this time, however, the range was being split into two markets, one for America and one for the rest of the world. In America, the Pantera stayed in production as very few people over there had heard of the Rover. The colours changed to a mid-blue with white racing stripes and a black interior
