Panther De Ville (1974)


 The Panther De Ville was built as a pastiche of 1930s luxury cars, with plenty of influence from the Bugatti Royale in its looks.

It was an entertainingly brash take in terms of appearance, but underneath there was serious engineering with Jaguar suspension and engines, including the option of the V12.

Inside, the De Ville could be trimmed however the buyer wanted, with wood, leather and thick carpets all standard fare. Customers could also add a drinks cabinet, climate control and TV.
