Panther Westwinds

This was developed in some secrecy at the home of one of the directors of the company in a barn in Surrey, with technical help at one point from a specialist race mechanic working for a Honda dealership in South London.

In 1982, Young Kim's Jindo Corporation in South Korea constructed the steel chassis platform and aluminium body for a car with Ford mechanics, to replace the Vauxhall-based Lima.

Another Panther car factory was opened at Harlow, Essex in February 1988 for the new Kallista convertible, and production commenced there while continuing at Brooklands.

Later, development of the brand new original Panther Solo, a modern sports car commenced in 1983 at Canada Road.

SsangYong transferred the stock of parts to South Korea where they developed a glass reinforced plastic body for the Kallista, to be mounted on a chassis modified to increase interior width by 4 cm.
