De Tomaso fails to sell
Back in January we reported that the assets of De Tomaso were up for grabs to the highest bidder. At that time, we knew that it wasn’t just the trademarks and designs that were up for grabs, but the De Tomaso factory in Modena. At that time it seemed something of a bargain, as the […]
