1976 Panther Deville – The Cruella DeVil Sister Car and Simply Stunning

1976 Panther Deville   One of the World's Finest DeVilles

I have owned this car for 5 years, and have spent a great deal of money making her breath takingly beautiful. I have many cars, and simply never use the car

The car creates a crowd wherever she goes, people hang out of their car windows to take photos, as the colour combination is beautiful, and the only DeVille in the world in these colours

Over the past 5 years, I would estimate I have driven the car around 200 miles

I am the press secretory of the Panther Car Club, and I have other Panther Cars, including a J72, Lima, Rio etc.

The car is simply stunning, the paint work does not have a mark on it, not even a pin head mark, the interior was originally red leather with black carpets, and I have had this changed to Cream Leather piped blue with Blue Carpets piped cream

This is undoubtedly One of the finest Panther DeVille motor cars in the world, well known within the Panther Car Club and around the world, as the car is simply stunning

I had two DeVilles, and I sold the sister car to this one to the movie company who mad the film Cruella, if you watch the movie, look for my old car, it's the black and white one

Since the movie came out, my blue and white car has been in local radio, television and featured in the BBC news

Much featured and photographed, if you google Panther DeVille this car comes up all over the internet

53000 Miles from new

Kept in a heated garage

Features the famous Cluster of Amethyst Radiator Mascot

When new these cars were built for the rich and famous, with the owners of Panther DeVilles being like a Whos Who book, these included Elton John, Oliver Reed, Marty Robins, Don Johnson, George Forman, Shah of Iran, Johnny Halliday (The French Elvis and New Unopened CD included!) etc.

The car has been only ever entered into 3 cars shows, and won awards at each of the 3 shows, these will go with the car

Chassis Number 2024R which makes this car Number 7, out of 58 produced

This means the car is what is known as a Mk1 DeVille, this is signified by quarter lights in both the front and rear door, and a raised swage line where the colour curve is on the front doors

Originally the car was Pacific Blue and Glacier White, but I have had a bare metal repaint in Rolls Royce Peacock Blue and Ford Glacier White, which are almost the same as the original colours, but it makes the car look even more beautiful 

Built for H R Owen and left the Panther Westwinds factory in January 1976, and first registered on the 1st of January 1976

The first owner was the Chairman of Birds Custard, with the original registration number being 1 EOV

The car is now registered as 2 WXA, and this registration number will be kept by me, so the car will revert to a P Registration number once sold

I have owned the car for 5 years, and since I have owned the car, I have had the following work carried out..(This is not everything! There was more than this spent)

This totals £58600.00, and in reality with other bits its probably around £65000.00 + that I have spent on the car

If you want to buy one of the most beautiful cars in the world, this is it

The car does have one hidden feature, whilst the interior was all being replaced, I have had fitted the largest set of airhorns available, hidden in the boot, fixed within the boot rear, which plays the theme tune to the Godfather, operated from a hidden switch within the glove box, may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's all hidden and just had to be done…

The car is of course free from any finance, is owned by me, and registered in my name

The car being 45 years old is of course Tax and MOT Exempt, but I David Marks put it through an MOT when then competed there work on it, just to be sure it would pass, even though it was not needed

Complete with Extensive History Paperwork, Bills, Hundreds of Photos, Awards, etc. etc.

Price £125000.00

I would consider a Part Exchange, but it would have to be something interesting

The Car is Located in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom

I can arranged delivery within the United Kingdom, and ship the car overseas if required
