The Panther Lazer was a one-off open roadster sports car built by Panther Westwinds in 1974. A Canadian importer asked Robert Jankel for a unique car as a surprise present for his wife. It was meant to take its engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes from the Jaguar XJ12, but a 4.2 litre six cylinder engine was substituted for the V12, along with a J72 rear axle. It was an odd three-seat car with wedge-shaped aluminium bodywork, three abreast seating, centrally mounted instruments in an angled binnacle and an oversized rear wing. The wife rejected it when it was delivered in August 1974. It was later sold to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi of Iran and is now at the National Car Museum of Iran.
