But nearing the race Carrera Panamericana. To win needed not only fast cars, great drivers, but also the same high-speed machines for technical assistance. In this role, come well-proven chassis 0086E. Again Carrozzeria Fontana set to work. Perhaps because of this virtually unknown modification of the production car, Ferrari for the second time in a row won this prestigious race.

In 1975 it was decided to build the car in the UK, Robert «Bob» Jankel from Panther Westwinds ltd. from the town of Byfleet (Surrey, GB). After months of hard work the car was built. Mr. Chinetti and Gittleman convinced that the British have done their job perfectly well, what else can be expected for the amount of $ 50,000!

Felber was a dealer of Ferrari and Rolls Royce, on the orders of customers implemented various projects based on exotic cars of different brands (Lancia, Vauxhall). Most interesting is that some of them were carried out by order of Panther Westwinds, so that the connection with the previous machine in sight. Design wagon has Italian roots, it has developed Michelotti.
