1975 Panther DeVille Ex-Johnny Hallyday - Lot 62
1975 Panther DeVille Ex-Johnny Hallyday - Serial number: 52012L - A star vehicle: Sylvie Vartan is said to have given this car to Johnny! - Extravagant luxury: Mink seats, Johnny's signature, custom elements. - Unique style: Bugatti Royale-inspired design, Jaguar V12 engine. - Collector's registration. The Panther DeVille is one of the most eccentric automotive creations of the '70s, directly inspired by the prestige cars of the '30s, notably the legendary Bugatti Royale. Produced in small series by the British manufacturer Panther Westwinds, it combines an impressive neo-classical design with modern mechanics, in this case a 5.3-liter Jaguar V12. A true symbol of luxury and exclusivity, the DeVille has won over a clientele of celebrities and enthusiasts of unusual cars. The example we present today goes even further, as it was ordered in 1975 for a French music legend: Johnny Hallyday. Sylvie Vartan, his wife at the time, gave it to him as a gift. This Panther DeVille is much more than a car, it's a piece of French rock history. Johnny owned it before losing it in a wild poker game, adding to its pedigree a touch of romance worthy of his legend. This model is not lacking in exclusive details reminiscent of its illustrious owner. Johnny's initials appear on the rims and several other parts of the car, while a central speaker proudly displays his famous initials. The interior takes extravagance a step further, with mink-covered seats - a rare luxury even among the most prestigious cars. In another nod to Johnny's exceptional career, a gold disc adorns the water tank cap, a direct reference to the multiple awards he accumulated throughout his life. Adding a further touch to its history, this Panther DeVille received the singer's signature on its hood in 1991, during a show in Vittel. Although this signature post-dates Johnny's ownership, it further anchors this model in the world of rock and car collecting. Unique in its history, luxury and spectacular design, this Panther DeVille is a rare opportunity to acquire not only an exceptional vehicle, but also a true testament to Johnny Hallyday's flamboyant panache and lifestyle. Erratum: The vehicle is sold without technical inspection. 1975 Panther DeVille Formerly Johnny Hallyday's car - Serial number: 52012L - A star vehicle: Sylvie Vartan is said to have given this car to Johnny! - Extravagant luxury: Mink seats, Johnny's signature, personalized features. - Unique style: Design inspired by the Bugatti Royale, V12 Jaguar engine. - Collector's registration document.
