By 1923, the first bikes named Panther, rather than P&M, 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. During World War II, Phelon and Moore turned their attention to making parts for some of the aircraft manufacturers involved in War production. Post-War, the Panther range included the 250 and 350 models, and eventually were added to, once again, by Villiers-engined models, but the mainstay of the line-up remained the big sloper Model 100, and from 1958 onward, the larger capacity 650cc Model 120. The deceased owner acquired 4811 U in running order in approximately 1995, and used the machine regularly every year thereafter, until two years ago. It was maintained as required throughout that period and saw use in tandem with his other machines. It has been improved by the addition of indicators, for use in modern traffic, although one of the front ones has been damaged at some time. Standing for the last two years, the Panther will require re-commissioning and safety checks prior to returning to the road. It is presently on SORN. Documentation includes a current V5C, an older-type V5C, an old V5, a quantity of old tax discs, and miscellaneous papers.
