Whatever happened to the Panther Six?

Whatever happened to the Panther Six? If I remember rightly there were three of these monsters built and I've long been expecting one to turn up at auction or being driven by one of the classic magazines, but nothing. Since shortly after their launch there has been complete radio silence. Does anyone know what happened to them. While I'm at it, I remeber being taken round Silverstone in a six wheel XJS pick-up owned by 100+ wheels. I remember it was fitted with an 8.9 ltr Chevy and drove through all four rear wheels. Anyone seen that one recently?
There was no mention of the Panther Six in Bob Jankel's posetion when he died, but I totally agree that it was a loss of a true visionary the likes of which we don't see often enough in the UK car industry. If you have a look at the Geman website there are definately two diferent colour schemes but there looks as if there may be too black cars. Can't read German so a bit hampered with this one! Would be a crying shame if these cars were not in the UK. Anyone found photos of the XJS?
So it sounds like it may be holed up in a shed somewhere in the southeast. I like the sound of this. Off to dig out my deerstalker and a magnifying glass, I'll let you know if I find it. While were talking about cars from the seventies, I remeber seeing 'The Beast' on the A1 many years ago and a while ago heard a rumour that it was being restored. Anyone heard anything about this one?
