eastendboy13 Store This is a rare opportunity to acquire a real piece of Motoring History, a 1974 Panther J72, from the Private Collection of a discerning Collector. Based on the Jaguar SS100, designed by Robert Jenkel, and built by Panther Westwinds Ltd, Weybridge, England. These fine motorcars were produced from 1972-1981, please note this was a Specialist Production Motorcar Company and Coach maker, these are Not Kit Cars.The J72 was the first product of the Panther Westwinds Company. It was an exclusive luxury roadster, on par with the best of the motorcar industry in its time. It used mechanical s from the Jaguar Car Company, including the reliable and race proven XK engines. The J72 was a success for the newly formed company, and its Motorcars were purchased by the rich and famous, who were hooked on these glamorous cars which oozed charisma and panache. Indeed one of the major coups for the company was beating Rolls-Royce at the 1973 London Motor Show for its Connolly coachwork.Every Panther built was commissioned by its new owner and all the cars stated on the build plate the name of the person that the car was built for. This beautiful example was built for H. Black (believed to be Senator H. Black of the Carolina's) as the pictures of the build plate show.This rare exotic motorcar is in very nice unmolested original condition throughout. The bodywork is extremely straight, dry and clean. The paint looks all original and as such has a few paint chips and blemishes but as you can see from the pictures these do not detract from the overall great shape this vehicle is in. The leather and wood are in very good condition. The bottom edge of the wooden dash needs some refurbishment. The exhaust, servo master cylinder and various other parts were replaced, the car had a major service prior to being stored. The Jaguar engine runs strong and makes for a very enjoyable driving experience!The condition of the car reflects the extremely low miles, making this a great addition to your motorcar collection.The motorcar is available for viewing in the New Hampshire area by appointment, and I encourage you to view it to truly appreciate this fine motorcar. I am selling the car on behalf of the owner, any further questions; please do not hesitate to ask!
