Panther Lima 1979

Panther Westwinds was a British specialty car manufacturer founded in 1972 by Robert Jankel. The company became known for producing low-volume, hand-built cars that often combined vintage-inspired styling with modern mechanical components. Models such as the Panther J72, De Ville, and Lima reflected this blend of classic design and contemporary engineering. Panther cars were built to a high standard and remain rare, making them sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
