Robert Jankel (January 1, 1938 – May 25, 2005) was arguably the world's most famous designer of limousines, armored cars and other specialty vehicles. He also founded the automotive company Panther Westwinds. Born in London in 1938, Jankel was educated at St Paul's School and studied engineering at Chelsea College. He was an avid sportsman and a member of the St. Paul's rowing team. Jankel built his first car in 1954: a wrecked Austin Seven which he rebuilt and customised. After an unsuccessful attempt at selling cars he agreed to join the family fashion business, Goldenfelds. During his time as a fashion designer, he still worked on cars, including a classic 1930 Rolls-Royce, which he completely rebuilt in 1970. On a trip to Spain, a bullfighter offered Jankel 10,000 for the Rolls-Royce. It was this sale that inspired Jankel to found a legitimate automobile company.
