Joah Phelon and Richard Moore were joined by Bertie Marians in 1908. A variety of machines were produced, and the firm supported entrants in differing types of competition, often with moderate success. At the outbreak of the Great War P&M were contracted to supply machines to the services, and in 1915 were taken into government control to ensure steady supply for the war effort. After the war the company was heavily involved in disposing of ex-WD machines, many being reconditioned and released to the public, as well as selling some new machines which were basically WD-spec. By 1923 the first bikes named Panther appeared as sports machines with a reputation for a decent turn of speed and reliability to boot. Throughout the twenties the company thrived, although the lightweight end of the range with Villiers engines proved to be less popular than the larger models, and were eventually dropped. In the early 1930s the Red Panthers gave way to the Redwings and the ubiquitous big-finned sloper engine, so familiar in post-WWII years. This Panther Special was purchased by the deceased owner at an indeterminate time. It appears to have elements of pre-war machines, although the wheels are the later interchangeable type. A spare petrol tank, a pair of mudguards and a saddle accompany the bike. Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the age and compatibility of the component parts of this machine prior to bidding. There are no documents with the Panther, which is sold strictly as viewed.
