The Panther De Ville is a neo-classic luxury vehicle which was produced by Panther Westwinds, the British speciality maker, from 1974 to 1985. At the time of production the De Ville was the most expensive car on sale in the UK, it attracted several well known buyers including singer Elton John and actor Oliver Reed. The model was further made famous by its appearance as Cruella De Vil’s car in the Disney production: 101 Dalmatians. Its a hand built classic based on Jaguar XJ12 mechanicals making it easy to service and a pleasure to drive.
This particular car was the third De Ville produced by Panther and has an interesting history, originally being delivered in Beverly Hills, USA. Its rumoured first owner was Don Johnson, It then came to Europe when it was purchased by a German stuntman. Since then it has remained in the UK being cared for with no expense spared
