Kallista?

Panther Solo. That is a town in Indonesia.

Loved the Lima. Did they bolt a turbo onto a Vauxhall Viva engine and out accelerate a Ferrari 308?

Good shout on the Solo but I think Kallista was a mythical figure of some kind, probably to do with Jupiter's Moon that treehugger mentioned.

I do seem to remember some quite impressive perfomance figures for the Turbo which was a pretty special car, not at all like the earlier Limas. Garrett did the turbo for them I think. Midget scuttle and doors in true Panther fashion....

Renault gave us two for one with the 21 estate.
Savannah in the U.K. but Nevada in France
