The 1974 Panther De Ville was designed to appeal to the super-rich and only 58 were made.

A luxury car collector has said it was "amazing" to see one of his cars driven around on the big screen by Cruella de Vil.

Peter Mayo, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, sold his rare Panther De Ville to Disney for their new movie Cruella, starring Emma Stone.The studio has been contacted for a comment. Mr Mayo, an engineer, said he had watched the recently-released film at home, an experience he had found both "amazing" and "painful"."It was amazing seeing it on the screen but she's not as careful a driver as I am. It was quite painful to watch her driving it.The Panther De Ville, which was launched in 1974, is closely modelled on a 1930s Bugatti Royale.

"It's fun to drive and when I take it out around Mansfield, people lean out of windows to take pictures." Over time Mr Mayo bought two and was in the process of having the second restored when he saw an advert seeking a De Ville."They said, 'we'll give you a bit less and we'll come and fetch it tomorrow in bits'. They had to send two lorries to pick it up."Mr Mayo said he understood the car - which was modified for the movie - is now on display at Disneyland, California.

Good

And boy, what a rubbish movie it is! Disney's Cruise Ships are still not at sea, WOKE is not working, so now the mouse is hacking into our beloved cartoon films, remaking/recasting the characters, them as live action. No respect - just chasing the dollar. Shameful. Disgraceful.

Panther cars had a lot of ford parts in the 80s! Can’t be that luxurious 🤣
