Greetings from DeTomaso (and Sweden)

[Björn Carlsson <bjorn.carlsson@sapagroup.com>]

We got this fax from DeTomaso yesterday and we would like to share it with
you:

The year 2002 has been full of satisfactions for De Tomaso.

Concerning De Tomaso Guara, we have three new importers in Europe: Austria,
Swiss and Italy.

As far as UAZ Simbir is concerned, we changed the engine which is not VM
(Bjorn: a typo for GM?) anymore but a Iveco Common Rail 116 HP, 2300 cc.
There is a great interest in this vehicle as we could see at the Mondial de
L'Automobile de Paris. We have registered the first UAZ Simbir and we are
producing the first prototypes. We are waiting for the financial aid from
the government to build new plants in the south of Italy for De Tomaso and
UAZ production.

The project of New Pantera and New Vallelunga are going ahead.

We hope that the New Year will be even more positive than 2002 also thanks
for your help.

Best regards, Claudia Lodi
DeTomaso Modena SPA

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
