Panther Lima

Automobiles

The Panther Lima was a retro-styled roadster made by Panther Westwinds from 1976 to 1982, with fibreglass bodywork built by Industrial Marine Fibreglass of Newton Abbot in Devon, in a style reminiscent of an Allard or Morgan. It used Vauxhall Viva and Magnum mechanicals, including the 2.3 litre engine, with a four speed manual gearbox as standard and an automatic as an option. The later Mark II model received a purpose-built chassis. The Lima Turbo of February 1979 raised output from 108 to 178 horsepower and claimed 0 to 100 km/h in under six seconds. Wikipedia counts 897 built, a large number for so small a maker, and the Panther Kallista replaced it for the 1980s.
