Welcome to the 'Heritage Channel' ✅ Inspired by Panther Westwinds (commonly known as Panther).
Robert Jankel was a car enthusiast and car designer who later became the founder of 'Panther Westwinds' building his own fleet of cars. His success was built on his ability to innovate whilst using standard parts, such as Jaguar engines, adding his own refinements of materials, body styling and interiors. His most popular car, the 'Panther Lima' styled like a 1930s roadster, used modern fibreglass materials - more than 1,000 models of this car were built.
Alongside Panther Westwinds, Robert established the Jankel Group – a coachbuilding company. When he turned his focus to this side of the business, it was to build customised versions of existing cars for high-end brands including Rolls Royce and Bentley. Cars built during operation include the famed Harrods Daimler and a specialist all-terrain vehicles for Range Rover.
We are here to keep the Spirit of Panther Alive.
