Beautiful People

Beautiful People showcases the rarest of vehicular aristocracy – a Panther Lima roadster, one of just 897 ever built, serving as the perfect companion to Marina Fernandez de Cordova and Prince Hubertus Hohenlohe on a scorching August afternoon in 1982 Marbella. The British automobile with its retro-styled fiberglass curves mirrors the confident posture of its subjects, while the Prince, son of the man who transformed this coast from fishing village to international playground, embodies second-generation sophistication alongside Marina and her Iberian nobility. Here, motoring passion meets social pedigree in a moment that defines early eighties Continental style.

This remarkable scene positions you among distinguished collectors who understand that true luxury combines mechanical rarity with human charisma. Your guests will recognize the Panther Lima silhouette – those who know cars will appreciate its exclusivity, while others simply absorb the magnetic presence of people born into the most exclusive European circles. Beautiful People brings both vehicular heritage and social history directly into your space, establishing an atmosphere where English craftsmanship meets inherited confidence.

The photograph preserves a fleeting alignment of UK innovation and Mediterranean aristocracy that could only occur in this Costa del Sol haven during its peak years. Slim Aarons recognized the symbolic power of this particular roadster, understanding how its handcrafted fiberglass body represented the same attention to detail that the younger Hohenlohe inherited from his father, founder of the legendary Marbella Club three decades earlier. Slim Aarons captured not just beautiful people, but the beautiful machines that extended their personalities.
